Looking for a new vinaigrette to add spark to your salad? This one was my grandmother’s. It was the ONLY salad dressing I ever ate growing up. I never knew that pre-made, store-bought dressings existed until I went to university and tried Catalina dressing from the bottle (yum!!).

This home-made dressing is sharp, vinegary and hits are the right notes. The best part is that you likely have all the ingredients in your pantry right now. It will last a week or so in your fridge and goes with any salad and any meal.

All-Purpose Red Wine Vinaigrette

This dressing goes well with any leaf or grain salad. Make this and keep it in your fridge for up to 10 days.
