Mojito Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe in Jar with Fresh Mint

Let's be real, I hardly ever actually make my own dressings, and just end up squirting half a bottle of mustard on some greens and calling it a day. So when I take the whole 2 minutes out of my day to shake some oil and vinegar in an old peanut butter jar, I make sure it lasts. Fill dat jar girl!

This one though. It's tangy. A bit sweet. And da-da-dayum refreshing on some summer greenage. I wouldn't even put it pass me to slip some rum in here, and call it a cocktail. Go ahead and judge, I'll be getting buzzed off salad dressing instead.

FAQs

How long does this vinaigrette last?

In my house, not too long! 😀 I would keep it in the fridge for up to a week, since the fresh mint will start to turn bitter after too long.

Can you freeze this dressing?

I have never tried freezing it, so am unsure of the quality upon thawing. I would imagine you could freeze it WITHOUT the fresh mint, and once thawed, adding the mint to it to keep it from wilting/getting bitter.

What do you use it on?

Aside from green salads, I also use this dressing as a marinade for chicken or shrimp, tossed with grilled or roasted vegetables, or in a quinoa salad as well. The possibilities are endless!

Money-Saving Tips for this Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe:

Buy in bulk. Opt for the bulk sizes for ingredients like honey, oil, and vinegar for more cost-effective options, only if you will use the leftovers.
Shop the sales. A lot of times, limes will go on sale, and last a while in the fridge. Use the sales a driving factor for making a batch!
