Gut Friendly Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and loaded with Mediterranean flavor, this homemade vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to eat more salad. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice bring a lively acidity that also happens to be genuinely supportive of digestive health, while extra-virgin olive oil provides a rich, smooth base that ties everything together. Ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that most store-bought dressings skip entirely, and the dried oregano and thyme give it that unmistakably Greek character. A touch of raw honey rounds out the sharpness without making it sweet — and it's completely optional if you prefer a more assertive bite. The whole thing comes together in minutes with just a bowl and a whisk, no blender required. Keep a jar in the fridge and you have a gut-friendly, whole-ingredient dressing ready to go all week long — just give it a good shake before drizzling.
