Elevate your salads and roasted veggies with this luscious Vegan Blush Wine Vinaigrette, a light yet flavorful dressing that's as elegant as it is easy to make. Made with tangy blush wine vinegar, rich extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of Dijon mustard, this vinaigrette strikes the perfect balance between savory and sweet, thanks to a hint of maple syrup. Fresh garlic and chopped basil add fragrant depth, while a simple whisking technique creates a silky, emulsified texture. Ready in just 10 minutes, this homemade dressing is ideal for anyone seeking a dairy-free, plant-based alternative to store-bought options. Drizzle it over greens, grains, or even grilled vegetables for a burst of bright, herbaceous flavor.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the blush wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to mix the seasonings evenly.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette, which means it should thicken slightly as you mix it.
Add the freshly chopped basil and whisk until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup according to your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake before serving to restore the perfect consistency.
