Red Wine Vinaigrette

Last weekend I made a spinach salad to share with friends. I topped the spinach with chopped apples, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries. For the dressing, I made a Red Wine Vinaigrette. I measured the ingredients into a mason jar and covered it to take with me to my friends house. On our way out the door, I enlisted my children to help me carry all of the food that we were taking with us. However, before I had even locked the front door, my precious six year old dropped the dressing on the front walkway!

I headed back into the house and quickly mixed up a new batch of salad dressing while my twelve year old picked up the glass. When I got to my friends house and served the salad, everyone raved about the salad and sweet dressing. I'm so glad something so simple was so pleasing to my friends, especially after our minor disaster.

Measure all ingredients into a mason jar, cover, and shake to combine. Serve over salad. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
