Why This Vinaigrette Dressing?

What sets this vinaigrette apart is its infusion of fresh herbs. Imagine the aromatic charm of basil, parsley, and dill mixed into every spoonful. Not only do these herbs contribute a layer of natural fragrance and flavor, but they also come loaded with antioxidants that add a nutritious punch to your meals.

Beyond its delightful taste, the Citrus Herb Vinaigrette is a salad dressing with benefits. By using heart-healthy olive or avocado oil as its base, this dressing provides essential monounsaturated fats that are known to support heart health. Plus, the vitamin C from citrus juices helps nutrient absorption, making your salads not just tasty, but nutritious.

Culinary Tips:

• Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like basil or mint for varied flavor profiles.
• Add a sprinkle of zest from the lemon or orange for added aroma and depth.
