Homemade Mustard Vinaigrette Dressing

I make this simple homemade mustard vinaigrette dressing when I’m following an elimination diet or avoiding gluten and dairy.  It’s quick and easy to make and tastes great.  This recipe is included in another post, Simple Summer Salad, but I’m adding a separate post for the dressing for quick reference.  Feel free to experiment with the quantity of ingredients.  I like to increase the mustard for a thicker, creamier dressing and unique taste.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Spicy Brown Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Water
  • 1/4 Cup Vinegar (Balsamic or Red Wine)
  • Juice for 1/2 Lemon
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Optional Seasonings (garlic salt, onion powder, thyme, basil or parsley)

How to Make it

To prepare dressing mix 2/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard and lemon juice in a container and add salt, pepper and additional seasonings to taste.  Whisk all ingredients together and serve over cool salad.
