Ingredients

Vinegar – Red wine vinegar has a clean, bright, and tangy bite to it. If you don’t have red wine vinegar, try white wine vinegar or even champagne vinegar.

Oil – Olive oil is so versatile! Switch up the flavor profiles and use sesame oil, avocado oil, or canola.

Other – Dijon mustard adds flavor but it also helps emulsify the dressing (to keep it from separating). Honey is an emulsifier as well!

How to Make Red Wine Vinaigrette

  1. Place all ingredients in a small bowl except the oil.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until the ingredients are fully combined.
  3. For best results, chill at least 2 hours before using.

Take it Slow!

In order to keep the dressing from separating, we want to create an emulsion. This is when two liquids that don’t usually mix can stay mixed (think oil and water).

Slowly drizzling the oil while whisking helps the mixture emulsify. This means that the oil and vinegar won’t separate. Drizzle really really slow.

Don’t skip the honey or dijon, they help the dressing to emulsify too!

How to Store Red Wine Vinaigrette

Keep red wine vinaigrette covered in the refrigerator, shake before using if needed.

Freeze red wine vinaigrette in ice cubes then transfer to a zippered bag. Let cubes thaw and whisk the dressing before using.
