Homemade Salad Dressing

It’s so easy to make salad dressing at home, especially a vinaigrette.  It’s just oil, vinegar, and seasoning.  This recipe calls for dried herbs so the ingredients are commonly already on hand.  And, the flavor is worth the little bit of effort it takes to make this easy recipe.

How To Make Garlic & Herb Vinaigrette

Note:  The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post.

  • Start with a small sealable container, like a mason jar.
  • Add equal parts olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
  • Add honey, dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.

  • Seal the container.
  • Shake until well combined.

  • Serve drizzled over your favorite salad.

If there are leftovers, seal and store in the refrigerator.  But, once it is refrigerated, the dressing gets thick.  To loosen it up, let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.  Or, run warm water over the sealed container for a few seconds.

    I wanted to try and find a recipe that was similar to what my friend usually makes and gives me and I took a chance with this as it was simple and I had all the ingredients! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! WOW!
    The only thing I did different was I added fresh crushed garlic and needed to change out red wine vinegar with apple cider because its what I had. Thank you! 🙂 I will now make this dressing myself and enjoy on fresh salads!

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I’m allergic to eggs and have a difficult time finding dressings that do not include eggs!

    This is my ultimate favortie dressing for my salmon salad. Lightly Seasoned salmon on a bed of fresh spinach topped with sun dried tomatoes, chopped crisp bacon, sliced onion, and pepperoncinis.
