Roast Garlic & Fresh Herb Vinaigrette

I put together a vinaigrette the other day and thought I would share an approximation of the recipe.

Roast Garlic & Fresh Herb Vinaigrette

(All quantities are approximate)

  • 1/3 cupWhite wine vinegar
  • 1/6 cupCanola Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Normal mustard that you would put on a hot dog
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
  • 3 sprigs Thyme leaves, (take the leaves off the branches – you probably don’t want those tough branches in your vinaigrette)
  • 1 leaf Sage, ripped into as tiny pieces as you can rip.
  • 3-4 cloves roasted garlic

Mix everything together really well. You might need a fork or whisk to break up the garlic initially, but once it is broken up it’ll mix in really well.

Some Notes:
  • I used a vinegar to oil ratio of about 2:1. Usually I use more oil, but usually my vinaigrettes aren’t very zesty at all.
  • I used white wine vinegar & canola oil because that’s what I had, and didn’t want the flavour of olive oil. You can, and should, use whatever you think will taste good.
  • Play around with the herbs – I just used what I had in the garden.
  • Don’t use much mustard, I just wanted to give a little colour and more zest to the vinaigrette.

Now, how does it look on a salad? Like this:

  • What is Choices That Matter?

    I'm a guy named John, and I do most of the writing around here. I went from a really active lifestyle to a really inactive lifestyle very quickly and my body is noticing. On top of that I'm worried about what's happening to our planet, so, I'm trying to do something about it.

    For Christmas I received the book Food Matters, which I found very interesting and inspired me to start changing. Check out my first post for the beginning of the story.
