Tangy Mustard Vinaigrette

The weather is warming up and it’s a great time of year to start experimenting with raw and plant- based foods.

Most people naturally tend to eat more salads during warmer weather, and whether the salad is used as a side, main, cooked or raw dish, it has to be flavourful – that’s where this dressing comes in.

I whip up a batch of this sweet, tangy treat at least once every week and it makes a delicious pairing with almost anything. An added bonus is that it lasts a few days in the fridge.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon finely diced red onion
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper to taste
