simple vinaigrette's - featured recipe

These tasty dressings come to us from a cute blog I found called Jen's Gone Paleo.
She is a fun crossfitter in Oregon who shares a lot of simple yummy eats.
Here is 2 of her recipes for some simple vinaigrette's...enjoy


Mixed Herb Vinaigrette
Serves 1
1 T. Red Wine Vinegar (for a more Greek-style salad) or Lemon Juice (for a more bright, citrusy flavor)
1 T. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 T. Mixed Herbs (Italian Parsley, Dill, Thyme, and Oregano...and Mint, if you're feeling really wild)
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Whisk all ingredients together in the bottom of your serving bowl.
  1. Top with greens (I use spinach, romaine, or mixed greens with this vinaigrette).
  2. Toss when ready to serve.
I make a salad using the following ingredients:
Mixed Greens
Cucumber
Tomato
Bell Peppers
Feta (if you're doing dairy)


Dark Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Serves 1
1 T. Dark Cherry Balsamic Vinegar
1 T. EVOO or Walnut Oil
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
Whisk all ingredients together in the bottom of your serving bowl.
  1. Top with greens (I use arugula with this vinaigrette).
  2. Toss when ready to serve.
I make a salad using the following ingredients:
Arugula
Pears (shaved to replicate Parmesan)
Walnuts or Pumpkin Seeds
Dried Cherries (look for sour cherries, without sugar or oil)
Blue Cheese (if you're doing dairy...this one is incredible!)
