SALAD DRESSING THE HEALTHY WAY!

Homemade oregano vinaigrette with honey.

ABOUT OREGANO VINAIGRETTE

Keep this creamy oregano vinaigrette (and maybe one or two more dressings on rotation) in stock and drop prepared salad dressings, along with loads of sugar and additives, from your grocery list.

Grab a mason jar, pour all the ingredients in, and use an immersion blender for a total of 3 minutes. Done. Easy. Healthy. Look up the health benefits of oregano and you might make this dressing even more often.

HOW TO SERVE

Place a small spoon of dressing on your salad and stir to coat. Taste the salad and determine if it needs more. Don’t soak it. Allow diners to taste the greens and vegetables in the dish.
Consider using this as a marinade or simmer sauce for slow-cooked chicken.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Use high quality raw honey—not ultra processed honey.
Use high quality extra virgin organic olive oil. Taste the olive oil alone before you mix everything together. Make sure you like the flavor.
Use plain cultured yogurt to add probiotic health benefits to your dressing.

WHAT TO AVOID

Don’t use the immersion blender for 3 minutes straight without pausing a few times or it may overheat.
This oregano vinaigrette leans a bit sweet if I round the scoop of honey too much. So, try not to make the ¼ cup of honey too exaggerated. But taste and see. There’s room for minor adjustments on sweetness according to your taste.

STORAGE AND LEFTOVER TIPS

Store the dressing in a mason jar with a leak proof lid.
