    60 Second Quick Vinaigrettes

    February 1, 2017

    In an effort to start eating healthier this 2017 year, making quick vinaigrettes at home has been one way we’ve cut out some of the fat, sugar, and added preservatives from our diet. Which has been great! It can seem a little daunting: making something from scratch, I know. But this is one of the simplest ways to start making your condiments at home: 60 second quick vinaigrettes! 60 seconds? You totally have time for that, I promise!

    Today I’m sharing three versions of a 60 second quick vinaigrette. These vinaigrettes are paired with a simple salad below to give you inspiration, but you can pair them with whatever your heart desires (or whatever your family wants to eat!).

    My biggest secret for making these quick vinaigrettes? The salad shaker! This is one of my favorite items that we received from our wedding registry last year, so much so that we got two of them! All you have to do is throw your salad dressing ingredients in and shake away. There is a handy airtight stopper on the top so that you can easily store your dressing in the refrigerator for reuse. Just shake again for about 10-15 seconds before serving again!
