Ingredients In Rosemary Vinaigrette Dressing
This rosemary vinaigrette is super easy to whip up and adds a burst of flavor to any salad. Start with a base of quality olive oil and white wine vinegar, then toss in some fresh rosemary for an earthy, aromatic punch. Minced garlic brings a nice bite, while Dijon mustard provides just the right amount of tang. A touch of honey balances everything with a hint of sweetness, and a splash of balsamic vinegar adds depth. Finish it off with salt and pepper to taste, and you’ve got a dressing that’s as versatile as it is delicious.
