The Best Mustard Vinaigrette

18 May 2026 Dairy Free Gluten Free Vegetarian Friendly
A new vinaigrette for a new year and this one packs a mustard punch. Perfect for the heartier winter salads and leaves, this is a shake and pour number to have on hand in the fridge for any salad emergency use. Let’s ease into this year with a simple way to elevate the ordinary with a major dressing win.

A simple bitter leaf salad with a sharp mustardy vinaigrette is just the perfect accompaniment to any winter dish. Just gather a selection of your favourite radicchio and endive family, add some fresh herbs (chives are always a winner) and if you are feeling fancy, some radishes for colour, or avocado for softness. Keep it simple.

Make the vinaigrette in a jar and keep in on hand in the fridge for any salad emergency use.
