Let's be honest - most store-bought dressings either taste like disappointment or come with a long list of ingredients you can't pronounce. So why not make your own? With Olivelle's infused olive oils and barrel-aged balsamic vinegars, whipping up a flavorful, fresh salad dressing is as easy as shake and pour. No fancy gadgets. No weird preservatives. Just real ingredients and BIG flavor.
Here are three quick, foolproof dressing recipes you'll actually look forward to using.
Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette: This one's a go-to for good reason - simple, balanced, and perfect on everything.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp Olivelle Garlic or Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Olivelle Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions: Add all ingredients to a mason jar, close the lid, and shake it like you mean it. Done.
Flavor Boost: Add a clove of minced garlic or a drizzle of honey if you like it sweeter.
Zesty Citrus Splash: Fresh and bright - this dressing is a winner for spinach salads, grilled chicken, or anything with fruit.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp Olivelle Blood Orange or Lemon Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Olivelle Peach or White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions: Whisk ingredients in a small bowl or shake in a jar. Pour over greens and feel fancy. Pro Tip: Add fresh orange or grapefruit segments to your salad for bonus citrusy vibes.
Creamy Dijon Herb Dressing: Rich and herby without any mayo - perfect for hearty salads, grain bowls, or roasted veggie bowls.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Olivelle Dill or Rosemary Infused Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Olivelle White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional for creaminess)
- 1/2 tsp dried herbs (or Olivelle's Bruschetta Herb Blend)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions: Blend all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week - if it lasts that long.
