Author’s Note

The Dressing That Does It All!

A Greek vinaigrette is my go-to dressing for just about anything. I’ll have it on a greens-and-veggies salad, some Roasted Vegetables, a Buddha Bowl, raw veggies, or even as a condiment on a sandwich. The list goes on and on! It’s been a regular in my lunch rotation for years, and I have a feeling that pretty soon it’ll be in yours too.

Aside from how deliciously it pairs with all sorts of veggies, I also love that it is quick and straightforward to make. With just a few ingredients, it’s what I turn to on those days when I want to elevate some greens but don’t have lots of time.
