Vidalia Onion Red Wine Vinaigrette #DressingItUp

Today, I have a healthy salad dressing recipe for you–perfect for the upcoming swimsuit season. I love making homemade dressings. With just a few simple ingredients you can have delicious tasting and fresh salad dressings in the comforts of your own home. Oh and best of all you know exactly what is in the dressing! I utilized Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar since it’s National Vinegar Month and National Salad Month. What a better way to celebrate the month by slimming down and eating healthy and homemade salads and dressings! 

What I love most about Pompeian vinegars is that they are gluten free and non-allergenic. They make for perfect dressings and marinades! They are the go-to vinegars I use when I make salad dressings.

I also love Pompeian Olive Oils. Did you know that Pompeian olive oils sold in the U.S., Pompeian is a blend of olive oils produced in various regions rather than from a single locale or company-owned grove? When we visited Italy a year and a half ago we had the opportunity to see how olive oil is made and then of course taste it. Quality olive oil is key for a good dressing.

Vidalia Onion Red Wine Vinaigrette #DressingItUp

For those not familiar with vidalia onions, they are grown in Georgia and are available only a few months out of the year. They just so happen to be available right now. So I tend to stock up on them. They are sweet and compliment the Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar perfectly! This dressing recipe takes a little longer than most of my dressing recipes since you have to carmalize the onions for 20 minutes. Then after the sweet vidalia’s are caramelized you combine the Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar, Pompeian Olive Oil and the rest of the ingredients in a blender and voila, a tasty vidalia onion red wine vinaigrette was born! If you are looking for a salad dressing that screams summer, try my recipe for Vidalia Onion Red Wine Vinaigrette.
