About Blush wine vinaigrette
Blush wine vinaigrette is a tangy dressing made primarily with blush wine vinegar, oil, and seasonings such as garlic, mustard, and herbs. It originates from European cuisine, often complementing salads, roasted vegetables, and lean proteins. The vinegar provides a mild acidity combined with fruity notes, usually derived from rosé or other light wines used in its preparation. Nutritionally, blush wine vinaigrette is low in calories and often contains unsaturated fats from oil, making it a healthier alternative to cream-based dressings. However, its nutrient profile can vary depending on added ingredients like sugar or salt.
Health Benefits
- Promotes heart health due to unsaturated fats in olive oil, which can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels (source: American Heart Association).
- Contains antioxidants like polyphenols from blush wine vinegar, known to combat oxidative stress (source: National Center for Biotechnology Information).
- May aid in digestion as vinegar can boost stomach acidity and improve nutrient absorption.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before use to re-emulsify ingredients.
