Simple Low Carb Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing

This is a simple and healthy low carb Dijon Vinaigrette salad dressing that you can make at home in under two minutes. The secret is in the quality ingredients, and in using a salad dressing shaker, which creates the ‘restaurant dressing’ texture. In our house, it’s a staple. We use it on leafy green salads, cucumber salads, salads with artichoke hearts, or avocados, or even pears. You can make a large amount, store in the refrigerator, and use it over a period of a few days. Just be sure to shake well before each use.
