Ingredients

  • scant ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tablespoons agave nectar/fine cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Tamari soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced with a Microplane
  • sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the red wine vinegar, thyme, vegan mayonnaise, agave nectar, Dijon mustard, Tamari, garlic, salt, and pepper. Seal the lid on top of the jar and give it a good shake. Open up the jar and add the olive oil. Seal the lid back on and give it another shake. Store in the fridge.
  • This red wine vinegar dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Notes

  • Fresh thyme makes a huge difference here and gives the dressing so much of its herbaceous flavour. I don’t think that dried thyme is an adequate substitute.
  • For a little extra kick, sometimes I like to add 2 tablespoons of pepperoncini or pickled jalapeño pepper brine.
My easy red wine vinegar dressing is the perfect all-purpose salad accompaniment. Simply shaken together in a jar and loaded with flavor from fresh thyme, garlic, Tamari, Dijon mustard, and a hint of sweetness. This creamy vegan salad dressing comes together in just minutes!
