It’s the time of New Year resolutions… another one of mine – eat more salads at home.
I tend to eat big salads when I eat out or a side salad when I feel what I am eating is not that healthy – like a pizza. I try to add more nutrition by accompanying whatever I am having with a salad. But at home, sometimes I get lazy. But I have noticed that when I am hooked to the taste of an awesome dressing, I look forward to eating a salad at home everyday.
This is my new vice – Mustard Vinaigrette. Easy, tasty, and goes well with any greens and vegetables you might fancy in your salad. I did this to accompany my not-so-healthy veggie “chicken” nuggets.
I make this by “eye-balling” the ingredients… so bear with me here on the quantities.
MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
1 tbs Dijon or Grain Mustard
1 tbs Apple cider vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
Extra-virgin Olive oil
-
In the same bowl you’ll prepare your salad, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
-
Then, pour olive oil slowly while whisking it in, until you get a nice emulsified dressing mixture.
-
Taste to adjust any seasonings.
-
Add any greens and vegetables you crave on your salad.
I am sure you could use this vinaigrette to season grilled vegetables – like portobello mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc.
Enjoy!!!
