How To Make Delia Smith Vinaigrette Dressing

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has the best flavor. Old garlic can taste too strong or bitter.
• Crush garlic well: Make sure to crush the garlic completely with the salt to get a smooth mix.
• Add oil slowly: Pour in the olive oil a bit at a time, whisking after each addition to keep the dressing smooth.
• Taste and adjust: After mixing, taste the dressing. If it’s too sour, add more oil. If it’s not strong enough, add a little more mustard or pepper. Adjust to your taste.

What To Serve With Vinaigrette Dressing?

This tasty vinaigrette pairs well with mixed green salad, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or quinoa. It can also be served alongside fresh bread, pasta salad, or steamed fish for a delicious meal.

How To Store Leftovers Vinaigrette Dressing?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover vinaigrette cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Freeze: Freezing is not recommended for this vinaigrette as it can cause the oil to separate and change the texture.
