Spinach Salad Dressing is zesty and delicious, a perfect blend for a spinach salad.
A handful of ingredients you likely have (oil, vinegar, a bit of mustard) and a quick shake is all you need! Serve with bacon crumbles or change it up to match whatever fruits and veggies are on the menu!
A Favorite Dressing
We love this vinaigrette salad dressing because the flavors are extra zesty!
Ingredients
OIL Choose a light flavored oil such as vegetable or canola oil.
VINEGAR Red wine vinegar is our favorite flavor but white wine vinegar works too.
HONEY Sub out sugar (or even real maple syrup if it’s all you have).
DIJON Mustard adds flavor but also helps emulsify the dressing (along with honey) so the oil and vinegar don’t separate.
Got Leftovers?
This dressing will keep 2 to 3 days in the fridge.
Spinach salad dressing can also be drizzled over roasted potatoes or enjoyed as a dipper for homemade bread.
