Dijon Vinaigrette

One of my favorite foods EVER is a good ol salad.
 I really could eat one every day. So many options you can't get bored. However the thing with salads is, you can ruin the nutritional value by using high fat, high calorie processed dressing. Most of the time when you order a salad out in a restaurant you will be getting a salad higher in fat and calories than if you ordered a hamburger! It's crazy. You need to have an arsenal of home made dressing recipes on hand for each of your moods. 
This one is a great versatile dressing for any kind of salad. Add this to a great pasta salad, or drizzled over sautéed or steamed veggies! It's a PERFECT addition!
MMMMMMMM I am getting hungry!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 TBS Red Wine Vinegar
  • 3 TBS Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2.5 TBS Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Cloves of chopped garlic
  • 1/4 tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 5 TBS Exta-Virgin Olive Oil
DIRECTIONS:
 Mix Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Mustard, Garlic, Salt and Pepper in a small bowl; whisk.
Slowly add oil while whisking; Mixing well.
You can store left over dressing in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
