ELEVATE YOUR VEGGIES WITH THIS SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE
Vinaigrettes can truly make or break a salad or a tray of baked veggies. Finding one that pleases the whole family? That’s the ultimate win—and this recipe has been a game-changer for mine!
I used to stick to the basics: a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Delicious, yes—but I wanted to do more for my family’s nutrition. When I learned that cooking broccoli reduces its nutrients, and adding mustard powder can help boost them back up, I started experimenting. That’s how this nutrient-packed vinaigrette was born! It’s now a staple in our kitchen, loved by everyone (even my little one).
Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
✨2 garlic cloves
✨1 cup extra virgin olive oil
✨1/3 cup lemon juice
✨1 tsp mustard powder
✨1/4 tsp turmeric
✨Salt and pepper to taste
✨(optional) 1 tsp of honey
Method
1. Start by mincing the garlic cloves and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to activate their enzymes – a trick I learnt by @bewellbykelly
2. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard powder, turmeric, and pepper.
3. Whisk everything together until well combined.
4. Pour over your favorite salad or brush it onto veggies before baking.
5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week and shake well before using.
This Mediterranean-inspired vinaigrette is more than just delicious—it’s a little boost for your health, too. Give it a try, and let me know how your family loves it! 🥗✨
