This savory, herby vinaigrette is perfect for a fresh salad of sweet tomatoes, cooling cucumbers and cheery sweet peppers. Slice the vegetables and cheeses and then gently toss with the vinaigrette until everything is well-dressed. Top the salad with some fresh dill, basil and mint if you'd like.
Ingredients
For the vinaigrette:
- 3 Tbsp French Onion Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp EVOO (we used an Abrequina for this but any would work)
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp Za’atar Oregano
- ½ tsp Dill & Parsley blend
- ¼ tsp Zanzibar Black Peppercorns
For the salad:
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
- 1 Hungarian wax pepper, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- Feta, sliced
- Mozarella, sliced
- Fresh dill
- Fresh basil leaves
- Fresh mint leaves
Directions
For the vinaigrette:
Mix the vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt and pepper and allow to macerate for about 5 minutes. Once the herbs have hydrated, slowly whisk in the olive oil. Transfer to a jar or bottle, and shake before dressing.
For the salad:
Toss the vegetables and cheese with the vinaigrette, garnish with the herbs and a bit more dressing, and serve!
