Elevate your salads and roasted vegetables with this Low Sodium Blush Wine Vinaigrette, a delightful dressing thatβs packed with flavor but gentle on salt. Combining the tangy sophistication of blush wine vinegar with the richness of extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of sweetness from honey, this vinaigrette offers a balanced and nuanced taste. Hints of Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, dried basil, and a sprinkle of black pepper create a harmonious blend that's both fresh and vibrant. Perfectly emulsified and ready in just 10 minutes, this heart-healthy vinaigrette is a versatile addition to your kitchen. Great for anyone seeking a low-sodium dressing option without compromising on flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the blush wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the honey and minced garlic to the mixture, and whisk until the honey is dissolved.
Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil while constantly whisking to create an emulsion.
Once combined, add the ground black pepper, onion powder, and dried basil. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more black pepper or a bit more honey if a sweeter taste is desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before each use as the oil and vinegar may separate over time.
