If you’ve read this blog with any consistency, then you may recall my love for salads.
Every few days, I make a huge bowl of the green-based goodness to munch on throughout a week.
My typical salads include a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces, red cabbage, red bell peppers, cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, and grated carrot. I’ve been known to also throw in vegetables like green bell pepper, red onion, and raw cauliflower. Just add whatever veggies float your boat, and you really can’t go wrong!
In addition to the salad, I also make a batch of homemade dressing each week.
This lemon oregano vinaigrette is the one I make and enjoy the most, so I wanted to share the recipe with you today via video! I hope you enjoy it!

What is your favorite way to top your salad?
Aside from the dressing,Ā I really enjoy something sweet, in the form of dried fruit, something crunchy, in the form of nuts or seeds, and, sometimes, something tangy, like crumbled goat cheese.

So good thank you! reminds me of olive garden dressing
Lydette says
How long will that last? Does it need to be refrigerated?
Lauren says
It lasts a good while! I refrigerate it because of the mustard.

I’m a huge salad lover too, which also makes me a huge salad dressing lover! I’m usually pretty lazy and just use a little olive oil and lemon juice. That is a great idea to make a big batch of dressing each week to use. I love the lemon and oregano combo! I will have to try this one next time! Also, I love your videos š
Lauren says
Thanks Izzy! We should make one together. š
