Pistachio 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. A generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil meets apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice, creating a bold, balanced base that clings beautifully to greens, grilled vegetables, or grain bowls. Dried oregano and thyme bring that unmistakable Mediterranean warmth, while a pinch of ground ginger adds a subtle, unexpected depth that keeps things interesting. A touch of raw honey rounds out the acidity without tipping into sweetness — and it's completely optional if you prefer a sharper finish. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain nuts, since shared production lines make even simple vinaigrettes risky. Making it yourself with these clean, straightforward pantry staples means you know exactly what's in every drop. Whisk it up in minutes, stash it in the fridge, and shake before serving — weeknight salads just got a serious upgrade.
