Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl or jar with a fitted lid.
    ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil, ⅓ cup red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper
  • Shake or whisk vigorously.

Notes

  • Increase or decrease olive oil and red vinegar to taste.
  • Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the ingredients as needed. Add more vinegar for acidity, more oil for richness, or more sweetener to balance the flavors.

Variations

  • Seasoning: Add 1-2 teaspoons of my Italian Seasoning or Oregano Seasoning
  • Citrus Twist: Add a splash of fresh lemon or orange juice for a citrusy note.
  • Balsamic Blend: Mix in a bit of balsamic vinegar for added depth.
  • Shallots: Finely minced shallots can add a subtle onion flavor.
  • Parmesan: A bit of grated Parmesan can add a savory touch. 

Storage Notes

Red wine vinaigrette will easily keep for a week, and up to two when kept refrigerated in an air tight jar or bottle. Just give it a little shake before you use it as the ingredients will settle.
