Share www.GetCollagen.co.za

This is my best balsamic vinaigrette recipe and a staple in my kitchen! Sweet and tart, the vinaigrette is wonderful for many types of salads and for drizzling onto roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or grain bowls. Garlic, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar add loads of flavor to this simple homemade dressing. Along with my love of pizza, pasta, cacciatore, torta di mele, and Italian cuisine in general comes a serious penchant for balsamic vinegar. I like to drizzle aged balsamic vinegar onto many vegetable…

This zippy red wine vinaigrette will give life to any salad! It’s so lively and tangy, and best of all, it’s easy to make. If there’s anything I’ve learned in years of cooking, it’s that I can never have too many dressing recipes. For example, I find endless uses for my now considerable library of tahini dressing recipes. And even if I’m not able to make anything else, not a week goes by that I don’t meal prep a jar of vinaigrette. This…

This orange miso vinaigrette is bright and acidic, yet also savory and rich. White miso paste helps to create a salad dressing that has complexity and depth. This is a perfect vinaigrette for greens, grains, and roasted vegetables. About a year ago, I got a great radicchio salad at a restaurant. It featured a miso salad dressing—specifically, a miso vinaigrette. Had the vinaigrette not been labeled as “miso dressing” on the menu, I might not have immediately guessed that the miso was there….

This homemade vegan ranch dressing will transform your salads, wraps, and bowls. It’s also the perfect dip for vegetables and a great choice for vegan appetizer spreads or boards! Made with cashew nuts, this creamy condiment beats any ranch that you could buy in a bottle. I’ve never had a hard time making dressings from scratch. Half the time, homemade salad dressings taste better to me than store-bought ones. They’re fresher, less artificial, and less aggressively salty. There are some store-bought dressings, however,…

This homemade vegan Italian dressing is so quick and easy to prepare, and it’s even more flavorful than the store-bought version! Herbs, good olive oil, and a nutritious vegan parmesan cheese, which is made with cashews and nutritional yeast, contribute to its savoriness and complexity. A lot of the recipes that I posted on this blog last year could be categorized as vegan basics. What’s a “basic” within the world of recipes? In my mind, basics are kitchen staples. They’re things to make…

Simple Champagne Vinaigrette

This simple champagne vinaigrette is my favorite everyday dressing for salads. Champagne vinegar is pleasantly tart without being overly acidic. Mustard, minced shallot, and maple syrup create a balance of savory and sweet flavor. This vinaigrette is easy to make and wonderful on salads, as well as grain bowls and roasted vegetables. It’s a staple in my home! Back in the early Instagram days (I miss those days!), I posted routinely pictures of my random vegan lunch bowls. Often, I would say something…

Keep it in your fridge for salads, bowls, drizzling onto grains and roasted vegetables, and much more.

This Greek vinaigrette salad dressing is as versatile and flavorful as it is easy to make! An all-purpose dressing for salads, grain dishes, and bowls. I go through phases with my salad dressings. Sometimes I’m in the mood for creamy dressing, and then weeks of tahini-based dressings will follow. Sometimes I make yum sauce and put it on everything for weeks, salads included. The roasted garlic vinaigrette in this protein packed quinoa bean salad is another one that I tend to get hooked…

It snowed through the night, it was snowing when I woke up this morning, and it’s supposed to keep snowing tomorrow. I love snow, and I love winter.

Multiple loaves of easy vegan multigrain bread in the last few weeks means lots of incentive to make sandwiches! More sandwiches means more sandwich combinations, and this miso tahini vegetable sandwich is my latest favorite. This sandwich is completely inspired by Peacefood Cafe, a cozy and casual vegan restaurant in my neighborhood. Their miso tahini sandwich features a thick, salty sweet spread, sprouts, carrots, and spelt sourdough. It’s so good, and I order it nearly every single time I grab lunch there. The…
