Homemade Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing

I'm not going to lie, I am a RANCH dressing girl! But along my journey it is something I have given up. Don't get me wrong, if i go to a party or event and its there, i might use a dab. :P But I never buy it for my house. There is healthier alternatives to ranch, but its never the same. My salads used to consist of ranch, cheese, & croutons.....lol!! Not even sure if I had any veggies besides lettuce. I didn't change all my habits overnight, but slowly started making healthier decisions. Ranch dressing, coffee creamer, and soda/sugary energy drinks-just to name a few-are the things I've given up along my journey. 




Anyway, I was SO happy that when I made the 21 day fix approved dressing, I LOVED IT!!! There is several options for dressings in the eating plan, but the only one I've ever tried has been the Dijon Vinaigrette. I actually crave salads now just so I can use the dressing. haha! I use the orange container to measure out my dressing and it is PLENTY!!





So, I'm sure you are wondering what the recipe is! Here it is::::

-3 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
-3Tbsp Fresh lemon juice
-3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
-2 cloves garlic, chopped
-1/4 tsp sea salt

-1/4 tsp black pepper
-6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Combine vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl;whisk to blend.

2. Slowly add oil while whisking; mix well. 

------>Store leftover dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator.
*Makes 6 servings
