American Vinegar Works Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
An easy staple to brighten any salad.
This recipe features our California Extra Virgin Olive Oil and and a splash of red wine vinegar dressing.
Which vinegar to use, and why
Chardonnay vinegar is bright without being sharp, which is what you want in a dressing you will use on everything. We use Better Than Champagne Chardonnay Wine Vinegar here. It is slow-fermented and aged in oak at our mill in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is why it seasons the dish rather than just souring it.
Make it ahead and keep it
Keeps covered in the fridge for several days. Bring it back to room temperature before serving, since good olive oil clouds and thickens when cold.
