Classic High-Protein Vinaigrette
Method
In a small bowl or glass jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, whey protein isolate, and Dijon mustard, if using.
Whisk vigorously until the protein powder has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a creamy, stable emulsion.
Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the dried herbs.
Seal the jar with a lid and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the dressing is silky and well blended.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional vinegar, herbs, or black pepper if desired.
Drizzle over leafy green salads, grilled vegetables, grain bowls, or use as a light marinade for chicken or seafood.
The order of mixing is the key to a perfectly smooth dressing. Always dissolve the protein powder in the acidic ingredients before adding the oil—this prevents clumping and creates a creamy vinaigrette with extra protein in every bite. Store refrigerated for up to 3 days and shake well before serving.
