With salad season in full swing, I am inspired to be creative with my homemade vinaigrette. I am having a blast experimenting and mixing up various salad dressings in Mason jars. There are so many flavor combinations and types of ingredients to mix and match. It is addicting…

The key elements for classic vinaigrette are three parts oil, one part acid, plus some salt and pepper to taste. This serves as a foundation for endless variations:

  • Oils: Oils can range from extra-virgin olive, grapeseed, walnut, sunflower, other nut oils, or even warmed rendered bacon fat.
  • Acids: The most common acids are vinegars such as champagne, balsamic, white wine, or rice. Any of these vinegars can also be infused with other flavors like the Chive Blossom Vinegar Infusion shared previously. Citrus fruits, including lemons, oranges, and limes are also an acid but you may need to use more than 1 part to balance the flavors or use in combination with vinegar to brighten up the flavor of your dressing.
  • Seasoning: Seasoning choices are endless but some basics are shallots, garlic, various herbs, red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, and honey.

It is really fun to experiment with different oils, acids, and seasoning combinations.

This homemade chive vinaigrette can be whipped up in only a few minutes with a few simple ingredients including fresh chives from your garden. This recipe uses infused Chive Blossom Vinegar, but you can substitute any vinegar for your own unique version.

Once you begin making homemade salad dressings, you will never go back to pricey store bought bottles with questionable ingredients. Vinaigrette is not limited to salads either. Try using as a marinade or drizzle over roasted vegetables.

  1. I’ve never had chive blossom vinegar. I’m curious to try it now. Thanks for sharing your vinaigrette recipe on Merry Monday.

  2. With yummy ingredients like these, I will be making this dish for friends and family quite often. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious Mason Jar Chive Vinaigrette Recipe with us at the Healthy Happy Green and Natural Party Blog Hop! I’m pinning and sharing.

  3. Hi Rachel,
    I enjoyed reading your post! The recipe looks great. I would not have thought to include chopped chives and will keep that in mind for my dressing tonight. My go to salad dressing is pretty simple — apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic, best quality olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Pinned this recipe as a reminder. Thanks!

  4. I’ve been making a lot of green goddess inspired dressings. Basically buttermilk and yogurt as the base with garlic and lots of herbs often parsley, tarragon, and chives, but I mix it up and use others too. I like mint and store bought sumac in it a lot too for a more Persian taste.
