Parsley Salad Dressing (A Fresh and Delicious Vinaigrette Recipe)

Last Updated: April 4, 2026

This parsley salad dressing is so deliciously fresh tasting. It pairs well with all types of lettuce and other vegetables. Give this recipe a try if you’re looking for easy homemade options, like this balsamic basil vinaigrette, which is another one of my favorites.

Ingredients and Substitutions

I prefer to use flat-leaf parsley in this vinaigrette, but you can substitute curly-leaf if you like.

Extra virgin olive oil is my go-to oil for homemade salad dressings. You can substitute other oils such as avocado oil if you prefer.

White wine vinegar complements the flavor of the parsley in this salad dressing nicely. You can substitute any other type of vinegar you like.

Dijon mustard helps this dressing emulsify well. You can omit it if you prefer, in which case the vinaigrette will have a slightly thinner consistency.

How to Make Parsley Salad Dressing

Add the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, finely chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Close the lid tightly, then shake well until the dressing has thickened slightly.
