Frequently Asked QuestionsYes!Garlic has been shownto have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic properties. And if that’s not enough, research has also shown that garlic helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and gives your immune system a boost.Olive oilis comprised of mostly monounsaturated fat. It’s been shown to have positive effects on health, including reducing inflammation, as well as reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. There is also some evidence that it may protect the brain and improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.Yes, because this recipe contains no animal products, it is a vegan recipe.A good vinaigrette strikes the perfect balance between smooth and tangy. The tangy element here is a combination of red-wine vinegar and lemon juice. Red-wine vinegar adds an acidic punch, while lemon juice adds tang plus a bright, lemony flavor.

A vinaigrette features oil, whereas a salad dressing can feature oil but also typically includes a creamy element like mayonnaise, buttermilk or yogurt. Vinaigrettes tend to be thinner with fewer ingredients and a sharper taste, while dressings have more viscosity, a few more ingredients and a richer, more rounded flavor.

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
