French Vinaigrette Dressing
We can help you make French Vinaigrette dressing that’s easy-peasy and ready in moments. Our French Vinaigrette seasoning blend is made with classic dressing elements; it’s got mustard, garlic, and chives, classic French herbs like tarragon and thyme, and the sweetness of basil and fennel. It’s rounded out with a little sugar for balance, but just enough to counter the pungency of the aromatics. You could experiment with different vinegars, like white wine or champagne vinegars, and tarragon vinegar would add even more herbal punch. As for technique, it is literally as easy as putting ingredients in a jar and shaking.
Most store-bought salad dressings are packed with hidden sugars or laden with preservatives, but when you make your own, you know exactly what you’re getting on your plate. In theory, it will last at least a month, but we don’t expect it to linger that long. This vinaigrette is great on salads, and can also serve as a marinade on chicken or fish. Use it to give your garnish for a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich a snappy bite. Toss it over grape tomatoes and roast for an extra-savory topper for pasta primavera, or drizzle over grilled asparagus.
