Mustard Free Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and punchy with lemon, this Mediterranean-inspired vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes a simple salad feel like something special. Most store-bought vinaigrettes sneak in mustard — often as an emulsifier — which makes them completely off-limits if you're avoiding it, but this one achieves that smooth, slightly thickened consistency the old-fashioned way: a slow drizzle of olive oil whisked in steadily until everything comes together beautifully. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice give it a lively tang, while dried oregano and thyme bring that unmistakable Greek-inspired warmth. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle depth you won't quite be able to put your finger on, and the optional raw honey rounds out the acidity without tipping it into sweet territory. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a whisk, and it keeps in the fridge for up to five days — just shake it before you pour. Drizzle it over crisp romaine, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or a classic cucumber-tomato salad and watch it disappear fast.
