Are you dreaming of a homemade light vinaigrette?
Our trick for enjoying a good salad without weighing it down with a sauce is very simple.
Just replace some of the oil in your salad dressing with water.
You will get a light vinaigrette.
It is a light and economical recipe, which is very easy to make.
The beautiful light salads are yours!
- 1 teaspoon of mustard
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar (of wine rather than balsamic which is sweet)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of water
- Salt and pepper
1. In a bowl, mix the vinegar and salt.
2. Add the mustard, water and oil, whisking with a fork.
3. Pepper.
There you go, your light house dressing is ready :-)
Now you know how to make a light vinaigrette.
It's simple and delicious.
And in addition, the water creates an emulsion that makes the sauce lighter.
You can also add some finely chopped shallots. It's a great idea to spice up the sauce.
This vinaigrette recipe is perfect for dressing a green salad (lettuce...) or a potato salad.
You can use linseed oil or olive oil.
We all have these basic ingredients at home, enough to save money on the purchase of store-bought dressings.
You see ! No need to go to Leclerc to buy a light vinaigrette!
This homemade dressing is not fat-free, nor zero calories. But it is definitely lighter.
It is ideal as part of a diet (including Cohen).
This salad dressing is not greasy at all and it is yogurt-free!
If you want to make a dressing without oil, replace the oil (and water) with yogurt.
Did you notice?
The price of products skyrockets as soon as they bear the words "light", "light" or "low in fat"?
Still, look carefully at the ingredients.
The only difference between a light product and its classic little brother is... the addition of water! Yes, yes, I assure you!
So rather than spending a fortune on a light vinaigrette, I much prefer to make it myself.
