    You'll love this quick and easy, tangy Italian-inspired dressing on your next salad or sandwich! You won’t need a store-bought vinaigrette ever again.

    finished dressing with wooden spoon.

    This dressing is reminiscent of *submarine sandwich dressing, which is super good and I really wanted to make my own!

    I also just really love vinegar/lemon and oil based dressings. I used to always get Subway with vinegar and oil on my veggie sandwiches!

    This dressing is also paired with my fresh cucumber and avocado salad! In case you needed an idea of how to use this delicious vinaigrette.

    Step Two - Blend!

    👩🏻‍🍳Cook's Top Tip
    This dressing is much better after sitting for a while rather than right away (though still not bad) so make this dressing with the intention of having it the next day and beyond!

    🧾Substitutions

    While I am using lemon juice for the acid in this dressing, you may use vinegar of any type! Red wine vinegar is a popular choice, but feel free to use apple cider, rice, or even a little bit of balsamic.

    ⏲️Equipment

    You will *need a blender of some sort for this recipe, though you can get away with using a whisk, it will just take a little work to blend the dressing.

    Other options include:

    • *Hand mixer
    • *Immersion blender
    • *Stand mixer
    • *Food processor

    🍱Storage

    Refrigerator - Store in an airtight container or jar for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each serving.
