This light and tangy French vinaigrette recipe combines wholesome ingredients known for their potential anti-inflammatory properties, such as extra-virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar. Perfect for pairing with fresh greens or roasted vegetables, this dressing is both flavorful and versatile for any anti-inflammatory diet.
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and minced shallot.
Add the sherry vinegar and whisk together. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the shallots.
Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a generous grind of black pepper.
Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing.
Taste the vinaigrette, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Whisk again before serving to re-emulsify.
Notes
For anti-inflammatory benefits, use a high-quality, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil and consider substituting apple cider vinegar for sherry vinegar.
Pair this vinaigrette with a salad containing leafy greens, walnuts, or berries for an added anti-inflammatory boost.
