Garlic vinaigrette is a light and refreshing dressing made with olive oil, garlic, and vinegar. It has a balanced flavor with a slight tang and a bold garlic aroma that enhances any salad. This simple dressing comes together in minutes and is a healthier alternative to creamy dressings. It works perfectly for salads, roasted vegetables, and even as a marinade.
