Vegan Greek Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and loaded with Mediterranean character, this herb vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to pour it on everything. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice bring a lively acidity, 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. The whole thing comes together with a steady drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil whisked into a beautifully emulsified pour. Store-bought dressings often sneak in honey, dairy derivatives, or other animal-based additives, but this one is built entirely from pantry staples — and the honey is listed as optional, so it's easy to keep fully plant-based. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, making it a smart batch-prep move for salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or anything else that could use a lift.
