Classic French Vinaigrette

"A simple french vinaigrette, with clean flavours. If tarragon isn't your favourite herb, you may choose to try another herb instead. When salad dressings from scratch are this simple, why buy processed, store bought?"

  1. Perfect! This is super easy to throw together and absolutely delicious. I loved the addition of tarragon! Also, making your own salad dressing saves a lot of money. It was lovely on Recipe #362232, but it could also dress up any old salad. Made for Veg*an Swap.
     
  2. A very tasty and great over salad! I will be using this again. Thanks for posting another yummy recipe! Made for Vegetarian Swap-VIP-Jan. 2011.
     
  3. This vinaigrette is a clear winner! So darn easy to put together - and so tasty - you could eat this twice a day. I made mine as directed, and let sit all morning - melding flavors and tastes all together. Thank you sharing such a lovely, simple, recipe that will be used often.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
