Dijon Vinaigrette – 21 Day Fix Approved Recipe
I have a new favorite vinaigrette, and it’s homemade! This Dijon Vinaigrette takes a minute to make, and I do it every week.
Â
This recipe comes from the 21 Day Fix eating plan and guidebook. There are not too many recipes in there, but this is one of them and it’s my favorite. I serve this dijon vinaigrette over salads, steamed vegetables and it’s a really good marinade as well.
If you’re not sure what the heck I’m talking about when I say the “21 Day Fix”, you can read about it here. You can also find my results and a little more information on my 21 Day Fix Page (it has all my archive posts). In a nutshell, the 21 Day Fix helps you get into the habit of eating well and working out (it takes 21 days to make or break a habit). The whole point is to be eating REAL food and eliminate the processed stuff out of your diet.
I have always loved homemade dressings, but I never did bother too often because the pre-packaged ones were really convenient when I was in a rush (I’m looking at you Italian). I no longer have that excuse. This takes under a minute to make, I simply add the ingredients, shake and chill. It’s all about preparation. I put it together on a lazy Sunday and I’m good for the week!
It’s so good.

Dijon Vinaigrette
A delicious and healthy vinaigrette recipe for salads and marinades.
Servings 6 tbsps
Calories 134kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp lemon juice fresh is best but I use concentrated most of the time
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a glass mason jar (or a medium Tupperware bowl works fine as well) combine all the ingredients.
- Place lid and shake until it's mixed. If you're using a bowl, just whisk it for a few seconds.
- Store in the fridge, covered, and take out 30 minutes prior to serving so it softens a bit. Or, if you forget to do that (like I always do), zap it in the microwave for 5 seconds.

This recipe makes eight servings, each serving being roughly 2 tbsp (or for those doing the fix one ORANGE container).
This is the only vinaigrette/dressing that I have ventured into making for the past three weeks but I am planning on attempting a few others from the book and I’ll make sure to post those as well. There are options for vinaigrette’s, as well as creamy dressings.

Sounds delicious! And looks easy too. I like that you can make it ahead of time and keep it handy.
I do too, it makes me feel better about what`s going in my body as well 🙂 I love how fresh it tastes!
First of all that vingerette looks delicious! I love that you can use it multiple ways! I don’t know if I buy that 21 days to break a habit. I have committed myself to things like no coffee for 40 days for lent, worked out for 3 months straight, but I always go back to my bad habits. Maybe its just me. lol!!
I think it`s when we`re familiar with something it`s difficult to break that habit. For me, when it came to working out and I had rest days over the weekend, I would have a hard time getting back into it. Since doing a little something everyday (even if it`s just a stretch or a walk) I keep at it. I`ll see if this momentum continues 🙂
oh I love that we always have the ingredients for this on hand. off to pin!
Simple ingredients, and it brings so much flavor! I love it. Thanks Jennifer!
This looks so good! Yummy on salad and as a marinade
I’m going to try it as a chicken marinade next week 🙂
Mmmm, this one sounds really yummy and there are so many ways to use it. thanks for the great recipe!! I love how easy it is to prepare 🙂
Gotta love things that take a minute to put together 🙂

That looks really good!
Hi!
i have added more punch to this recipe. Out of those 6 TBsp of Olive Oil, I have added 1 Tbsp of Avocado Oil and 1 Tbsp of 2 week aged Olive Oil With Parsley.
On top I have added sea salt with Kale.
Sounds yummy!
Do you have any preferences when it comes to what Dijon Mustard you grab? Whole grain, fine ground, brands? Thank you for sharing this recipe! It looks delicious.
I like plain ol smooth. Maille or a generic brand works just fine.
How long should this keep in the fridge?
Hey Daisy, you’re good for 7 days.
Thank you for posting this. It is one of my favorite vinaigrette recipes and I had lost it when we remodeled our kitchen. I am so glad to have it again. I am going to make it right now.
