Celery Free Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and loaded with Mediterranean character, this herb vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes a simple salad feel like something special. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice team up for a lively acidity, while dried oregano and thyme bring that unmistakable Greek warmth. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle, unexpected depth that keeps every bite interesting. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain ingredients, but this one is made entirely from scratch with a short, clean list you can trust. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified texture that clings to greens, grains, or roasted vegetables rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. A drizzle of raw honey is optional but rounds out the sharpness in the most satisfying way. Make a jar at the start of the week and you'll find yourself reaching for it on just about everything.
