Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box, where we dive into the joy of home cooking. I’m your host, Ben Harper, and today we’re unlocking a secret to elevate your salads and sandwiches: the DIY Subway Vinaigrette!

Now, who doesn’t love that tangy, sweet flavor of Subway’s vinaigrette? It’s a game-changer, and guess what? You can make it right in your kitchen with some simple ingredients. Let’s get into how you can whip up this delicious dressing.

First things first, the ingredients. You’ll need:

• 2/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon each of black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder

These are all pantry staples that come together to create a burst of flavor. And if you're a fan of experimenting, feel free to add a pinch of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra zing.

Now, onto the preparation. Start by whisking together your apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a bowl. This forms the base of your vinaigrette. Next, add in the salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder, whisking until well combined.

Here comes the crucial part for that smooth, emulsified texture. Gradually pour in the olive oil while continuously whisking. This process helps the oil blend seamlessly with the vinegar, creating that creamy consistency we all love.

Once your vinaigrette is mixed, give it a taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed. More vinegar for tanginess, or a bit more honey for sweetness, depending on your preference.

And there you have it! Just pour your homemade Subway vinaigrette into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It’ll keep for up to five days, perfect for meal prep or spontaneous salad making.

Remember, the key to a great vinaigrette is quality ingredients. Use the freshest olive oil you have, and don’t be shy to play around with the flavors. This vinaigrette isn’t just for salads; drizzle it over roasted veggies or use it as a marinade for meats. It’s guaranteed to elevate your dishes.

So, why go store-bought when you can make a fresher, tastier version at home? Once you try this, you’ll see just how easy and delicious homemade can be.

That’s all for today’s episode. I hope you’re as excited as I am to try this Subway-style vinaigrette. For more recipes and kitchen tips, keep tuning in to the Simple Recipe Box. Happy cooking, everyone!
