FAQ's
What is Vinaigrette Dressing?
A vinaigrette dressing is a classic and versatile combination of vinegar and oil (such as olive oil!) The rich and complex notes of balsamic vinegar give it a delightful tang, balanced by the smooth and velvety texture of the oil. This dynamic duo forms the foundation of the dressing, while herbs and spices can be added to create a medley of flavors.
Is Vinaigrette Dressing Healthy?
Yes! Vinaigrette dressing can indeed be a healthy and flavorful addition to your diet. As a lighter and more refreshing alternative to heavy or creamy dressings, vinaigrettes can be a wonderful substitute. The combination of oil and vinegar in vinaigrettes brings healthy monounsaturated fats, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. Whether drizzled over salads, used as a marinade, or incorporated into various dishes, vinaigrette dressing offers a flavorful and healthful way to enhance your culinary creations.
How to Make a Vinaigrette?
To make a vinaigrette dressing, we suggest 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil, but you can adjust the ratios based on your personal preference! Simply whisk together some of our delectable oil and vinegar pairings along with some of your favorite herbs and spices for a balanced and delicious vinaigrette. Our oil and vinegar pairings are carefully chosen for their great flavor combinations, perfect for a beginner vinaigrette maker.

Do I Need to Refrigerate Vinaigrettes?
The question of whether to refrigerate vinaigrettes depends on their specific ingredients. If your vinaigrette consists of only vinegar and oil, you can store your dressing out of the fridge for one to two weeks. However, if you've incorporated additional flavor enhancers such as lemon juice or garlic, it would need to be refrigerated for proper storage. When in doubt, it's always best to err on the side of caution and store your vinaigrette in the refrigerator. Proper storage not only extends the shelf life of the dressing but also preserves its flavors, making sure it is ready to enhance your salads, marinades, and dishes with delightful tang and zest.
