Dijon Caper Vinaigrette

November 24, 2013 By Carolyn Berry Leave a Comment

Salad dressing is just one of those things that’s just too easy to make yourself, so why buy it? Well I can’t think of any good reasons as a matter of fact. Many store-bought dressings have extra/less desirable ingredients added to help stabilize and preserve the product, allowing it to be shelf stable for months. I don’t know about you, but that just isn’t something that I want to be consuming in a regular basis, or at all.

Capers and Dijon mustard naturally add so much flavour to this vinaigrette. And if you’re not sold already, extra virgin olive oil is a versatile heart-healthy oil made up of healthy fats (monounsaturated fats) which help to lower total cholesterol and may decrease risk of heart disease.

It’ll just take you a minute to whip up a small amount for just one serving, or multiply by 2, 3, or 4 if making large salad. Enjoy!
