Quick and easy vegan dirty vinaigrette made with balsamic, dijon mustard, fresh Rosemary and capers. Made in 5 minutes. Use it on salads or pasta recipes

This vinaigrette looks like muddy water, right?

It looks like the brown slush left behind after a quick rain on a hot summer afternoon.  You know the puddle I am talking about, right?

It sits by the pavement (kind of like this one!)  and you don’t see it until the last second.  Suddenly, it gets on your shoes and a little splashes on your clothes!

I know, I know! I shouldn’t equate edible items to muddy water!

But, the first time I made this vinaigrette, all I could see was dirty, muddy water.  Ever since then, I have referred to it as dirty vinaigrette

You know what they say, right? Don’t judge a vinaigrette by its color!

This is, by far, the most delicious vinaigrette I have ever made and it is the only one that I make weekly.  Being a lazy cook on some days, I just roast a few mushrooms and onions, add cooked pasta and top it with this dressing.

That’s all!

It is a very quick dinner with very little effort on my part.  The dressing takes only 5 minutes to make.  Ideally, I like to let it marinade overnight, but, you can eat it right away too.

My favorite part of this vinaigrette are the capers.  They added an additional level of tang to this vinaigrette.  Remember how delicious they tasted in my mushroom bruschetta recipe and in the avocado on toast recipe? It adds a layer of yumminess to any recipe.

There is an endless list of ingredients you can add to vegan vinaigrette which is why I love creating them.  I get to use fresh ingredients like strawberries, lemons and blueberries.

The shelf life of this vinaigrette is about one week when refrigerated.  It has a sweet and tangy taste, so, use it as soon as you can and you will get to taste it at its peak.

Then, come back and tell me how much you loved it!

  1. I’m obsessed with capers! And I always make my own vinaigrettes too. I’ve never thought to add capers though. I’m doing this tomorrow 🙂
