Cooking Tips

• For a creamier vinaigrette, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar, such as balsamic, red wine, or apple cider vinegar, to create different flavor profiles.
• If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just reduce the amount by half, as dried herbs are more potent.
• To make a larger batch of vinaigrette, simply double or triple the ingredients.
• Shake the vinaigrette well before using to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Storage and Serving

• Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Serve the vinaigrette at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference.
• Drizzle the vinaigrette over salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats for added flavor.
• You can also use the vinaigrette as a dip for bread or as a marinade for tofu or seafood.
• Remember to shake the vinaigrette well before each use to mix the ingredients.
