This vibrant Horseradish Vinaigrette is a quick and easy way to elevate simple salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken. The combination of sharp red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice provides a bright acidic base, while the freshly grated horseradish delivers a distinctive, warming heat that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Fresh herbs like basil, dill, parsley, and chervil add complexity and a garden-fresh aroma, balancing the intensity of the mustard and horseradish. This dressing emulsifies beautifully with olive oil, creating a smooth, cohesive texture that coats ingredients evenly. It is perfect for spring and summer meals, offering a refreshing contrast to rich or earthy flavors. Make it in minutes using a jar and a vigorous shake for a homemade touch that tastes far superior to store-bought alternatives.

Note

Use freshly grated horseradish for the best heat and flavor; prepared horseradish can be substituted but may be milder.

The fresh herb mixture should ideally be equal parts basil, dill, parsley, and chervil for a balanced flavor profile.

This dressing separates over time; shake well before each use.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
