Substitutions

Best Match

Homemade Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette

1:1

Offers fresh, bright flavors with control over fat and sodium content.

Red Wine Vinaigrette

1:1

Similar tangy base, can be seasoned with Italian herbs for a close match.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1:1

Darker and sweeter, but still offers a zesty, savory profile, good for different flavor.

White Wine Vinegar + Herbs

1:1 (with splash of oil)

Simplest alternative for a quick tangy, herby dressing base.
