This recipe makes about 1 ¾ cups dressing. Nutritional information is calculated with an estimate of 2 tablespoons of dressing per salad. About 12 salads.

Tips for Success

I like tender red leaf lettuce for this vinaigrette recipe. Beautiful in color and soft in texture, it will welcome the flavor.
Don't dress the salad ahead of time. The acid in the lemon juice and the red wine vinegar will wild those tender leaves. Dress the salad just before serving.

Store any leftover vinaigrette in the same Mason jar you used to blend it. Red wine vinaigrette will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep in mind the ingredients will separate during storage. Let the vinaigrette come to room temperature then shake to blend.
