Oats Free Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and deeply aromatic, this Greek-inspired vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to pour it on absolutely everything. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice bring a lively acidity, while dried oregano and thyme give it that unmistakable Mediterranean character. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that rounds out the whole thing beautifully. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a silky, emulsified dressing that clings to greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled proteins rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Store-bought dressings can be surprisingly tricky territory, with thickeners and grain-derived additives hiding in the ingredient list — making a batch from scratch like this means you know exactly what's in every drop. It comes together in just one bowl or jar, keeps in the fridge for up to five days, and honestly tastes better the next day once the garlic and herbs have had time to meld.
