Salads support your waistline, but a lighter dressing elevates them further. As a home cook with years refining healthy recipes, here's my go-to light vinaigrette that delivers flavor without excess calories.
Nothing beats a light vinaigrette to dress your salad, caring for your figure while preserving its fresh taste.
Here's my trusted method:
1. Ingredients. Like classic vinaigrettes, start with mustard, one tablespoon of oil, salt, and pepper. For lightness, add one tablespoon of water, plus one or two spoons of cottage cheese for creaminess if desired.
2. Ingredient order. Success hinges on the right sequence to ensure a smooth, homogeneous dressing.
3. Begin by whisking vinegar with salt. Then incorporate the oil, mustard, and water. Mix thoroughly and season with pepper to taste.
Your perfect light vinaigrette is ready to complement any salad. Enjoy!
No need for pricey light salad dressings from supermarkets.
They cost around 3 euros—at least double a homemade version.
It takes just five minutes to prepare, quicker than shopping.
