Lactose Free Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and punchy with citrus, this Mediterranean-style vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes a simple salad feel like something special. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice bring a lively tang, while dried oregano and thyme give it that unmistakable Greek-inspired depth. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that keeps things interesting without overpowering the other flavors. Because it's built entirely on olive oil, vinegar, and aromatics, there's no dairy anywhere in sight — no cream, no buttermilk, no hidden milk solids to worry about. Store-bought dressings can be surprisingly sneaky with added dairy derivatives, so making your own from scratch is genuinely the smarter move. Whisk it together in minutes, stash it in a jar in the fridge, and you've got a versatile, dairy-free dressing ready to go all week long.
