By Alysha Melnyk
A classic, easy recipe that is perfect for dipping vegetables in or drizzling on salad. I first became familiarized with French vinaigrette after my brother made it for a salad upon returning home from being abroad in France. In my opinion, French vinaigrette is far superior to the French dressing served in American cuisine. It’s light, citrusy, herby, and flavorful. The flavors of the shallot and herbs of choice really shine through in this quick and easy recipe that makes enough vinaigrette for 4 small salads (or 2 larger salads).
Enjoy!
