Why I Love This Flavorful Vinaigrette Recipe
Whenever I come across the term, ‘vinaigrette’, my mind roams around two things: First, the delicious combo of oil and vinegar, and then the endless varieties of green leafy salads that are going to soak in this incredible flavor. The former also stirs up the delicious possibilities of whipping up different variations of the classic vinaigrette setting the perfect salad scene.
This salad dressing is all about that homemade vibe, but with a green twist. Yes, I’m talking about the beautiful green chutney combined with lip-smacking vinaigrette. It adds color, taste and warmth to the dressing. The green chutney itself is a flavor bomb with a mix of coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, ginger, lemon juice and a touch of chaat masala. When paired with vinegar and olive oil, these ingredients turn any salad into a feast. The final result is like a foodie orchestra with the right notes. And don’t stress about how to use this dressing, just pour it on all your favorite salads, plus the classic Indian chaats.
