Tree Nut Free Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and punchy with lemon, this Mediterranean-style vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to eat more salad. The combination of apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice gives it a lively acidity, while dried oregano and thyme bring that unmistakable Greek-inspired depth. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that keeps things interesting without overpowering the other flavors. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield of unexpected additives, but this one is made entirely from pantry staples you can see and trust. Whisking the olive oil in slowly is the key move here — it pulls everything into a smooth, cohesive emulsion that clings beautifully to greens, grilled vegetables, or grain bowls. A drizzle of raw honey is optional but rounds out the tang in a really satisfying way. Make a jar at the start of the week and you'll find yourself reaching for it every single day.
