    What Is Difference Between Dressing Vs Vinaigrette?

    Dressings are made up of a base (traditionally oil), an acid, seasoning and optionally a sweetener

    • Creamier salad dressing base’s can use: mayonnaise, yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, milk or mustard like we used in this fat-free salad dressing.
    • Vinaigrette are usually a mixture oil and vinegar blended into an emulsion and flavored with herbs, spices, salt, pepper and a sweeter(optional). The ratio is usually 3 parts oil, 1 part vinegar.

    Frequently Asked Questions?

    How To Make An Oil-Free Vinaigrette Dressing?

    For our oil-free citrus honey vinaigrette salad dressing we use dijon mustard. Mustard is a common ingredient in vinaigrette and it helps the oil and vinegar emulsify. Mustard also gives the vinaigrette a tangy kick.

    Other oil-free dressing substitutes are avocados, nut butters or white beans.

    What Is Vegan Honey?

    Vegan honey can be made from plants, fruits, and roots. No Bees are involved in the making of this product. Some vegans do not consume honey, avocado or almonds because of this. We do consume honey but are always interested in trying new products; especially if there good for our health and the environment.
