Inside Scoop: Add this Sweet & Spicy Vinaigrette Salad Dressing to any salads you want to bring to life.
Weâre simple folk. We love a good balsamic vinegar + oil drizzled on our salad dressing, and hey, sometimes we even go out and buy salad dressing that are pretty damn healthy (even though youâll hear most nutritionists say, make your own!)
Our fav? These Primal Kitchen Salad Dressing blends⌠soo good!
And, this is why you donât see a lot of salad dressing options on our site (right meow).
Weâre sorry, and weâre totally going to change this for you⌠because weâve been playing around with dressings and have been KILLING it lately with simple vinaigrette dressings that are easy to make from scratch (not to toot our own horn, but then again weâre totally tooting it).
This dressing has been our âas of lateâ and weâve been putting it on everything. Itâs sweet, it has a hint of heat, itâs light, but at the same time adds depth and flavour, it has minimal ingredients, and is easy to whip up.

This dressing is:

Sweet And Spicy Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup vinegar of choice
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
- Add everything to a sealable container (we use glass jars) and shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed. Drizzle on salad and toss to coat.
Is that calorie count per serving or the whole jar? Seems like a lot for the list of ingredients.
We have assumed 6 servings but it can possibly make more if you are using less dressing. The total calories for the full recipe is 1,530 of which the majority is from a healthy source of fat which is extra virgin olive oil.
Used half the oil and added some red pepper flakes and hot sauce for more spice. Was a nice dressing for broccoli slaw
That’s awesome, we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
