Sunflower Oil Vinaigrette

Sunflower Oil Vinaigrette

This dressing is more complex with the fragrant, earthy sunflower oil as its base, but you could substitute another flavorful oil, such as extra-virgin olive or walnut oil, with great results. Dried herbs work well in a dressing you plan to keep around a few days. If you prefer fresh herbs, use at least 1 tablespoon of any soft herb.

To read the accompanying story, see: Neutral vegetable oil is boring. Nutty, buttery, cold-pressed sunflower oil is here and ready to be tasted.

Make Ahead: The vinaigrette can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
