Questions people ask about Vinaigrette Dressing

How long does Vinaigrette Dressing take?

About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of garlic in Vinaigrette Dressing?

Use 1/4 tsp garlic powder per clove at a push, added later so it does not scorch.

Can I make Vinaigrette Dressing ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Vinaigrette Dressing vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

How long does home-made vinaigrette dressing keep?

About a week in a sealed bottle in the fridge. It separates as it sits, which is normal — shake it hard before each use.
