This vinaigrette recipe is an easy versatile dressing that can be modified to your taste for your green salad or pasta salad. This recipe uses the traditional 3:1 ratio of oil to vinegar.

I will be honest I like it a bit more on the acidic side. Some things to keep in mind when altering this recipe, the dijon is the ingredient that will emulsify the vinaigrette so it doesn’t separate.

When I use this recipe for a pasta salad I increase the dry basil and oregano amount by an additional half to double, the extra herbs come through more in the pasta salad.

Take a look at the Roasted Pasta Salad recipe and give it a try when you have fresh vegetables from your garden.

Enjoy!

This is a delicious italian style vinaigrette that we love at our house.

It is easy to prepare.

If you have a immersion blender this comes together quick.

You could use a blender or a food processor instead.

If you would like you can whisk together in a bowl but the garlic and dried herbs would not be minced small like the other methods but this recipe is very versatile and can be adjusted to your liking.
