We’ve never met a dressing that works as hard as our Three-Minute Red Wine Vinaigrette. It’s perfect on green salads, obviously, but as a chicken marinade or tossed with pasta salad, it shines just as bright. Here it’s the punchy marinating liquid for just-grilled, still-warm red bell peppers, which contribute a vegetal sweetness and smoky char to the final dish. Torn mozzarella and fresh oregano add richness and herbaceous lift.
Feel free to swap in 1 clove of grated garlic for the garlic powder, and any sweetener for the maple (like honey, agave, or even a pinch of sugar).
