Green Garlic and Chive Vinaigrette - recipe Credit - Steven Shoemaker

Standard Vinaigrette ratio is 3 parts oil to one part vinegar. An acceptable low fat alternative is 2 parts oil to one part vinegar. This is a good starting out point. You need to keep tasting and adjust to make sure the balance of sweet oil and acidic vinegar is pleasing to your palate.

If you don’t have an immersion blender, I would suggest picking one up does wonders with making vinaigrettes and mayonnaise. A blender will work just fine as well.

1 Cup Olive Oil

½ Cup White wine Vinegar

1Tbsp Dijon

2Tbsp Green Garlic Minced

1Tbsp Chives Minced

Salt and Pepper to taste

Mince together the Green Garlic and Chives

Measure out your Oil and Vinegar

Mix together and add Dijon. Toss in the product and blend thoroughly. If you have an immersion blender you will get a very nice full bodied dressing for your salad.

You may need to add a little more Oil or a little more Vinegar depending on whether you like a sweeter or more sharp vinaigrette

Salt and Pepper to taste.
