Easy vinaigrette that is perfect as a marinade or salad dressing!
Jump to Recipe

Homemade vinaigrette and marinades are absolutely the best. Once you start making and using them, you will never go bak to store bought. This recipe is very versatile; I love using it as a marinade for fish and chicken. Whenever I use it as a salad dressing I just pop in some sugar (but not absolutely necessary). I hope you will try this versatile recipe and enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
