Healthy, because
The classic French vinaigrette consists of about two thirds oil and is therefore rightly considered to be quite rich. That it tastes just as good with less fat is shown by the low-fat vinaigrette, in which part of the oil is replaced by aromatically boiled orange juice.
Even smarter
Shaking in the screw-on jar not only makes preparing the salad dressing particularly quick and easy - it can also be stored in the same jar in the refrigerator. There it stays fresh for at least 1 week. If you want to save even more calories and time, you can use cooled tea instead of the boiled orange juice. You can also vary the mustard, how about a mango mustard, for example?
