As many of you know, I rarely buy a dressing from the store. Vinaigrette’s are about as easy and tasty as they get, not to mention, if you use a high quality extra virgin olive oil, it is a rather healthy option (assuming you don’t drowned the salad)<\/p>\n
I have a bunch of mason ball jars in my kitchen for making vinaigrettes, it is one stop, throw it in the jar and give it a shake.<\/p>\n
Once you have the basics down, the options are endless. The most important thing to remember is a 3:1 ratio oil to acid (vinegar or citrus juice)<\/p>\n
For a simple vinaigrette, choose a high quality extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
3\/4 cup EVOO
\n1\/4 cup *red wine vinegar
\n1 clove garlic crushed and minced
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1\/4 teaspoon pepper<\/p>\n
Put all ingredients into jar, put on lid tightly and and shake. taste and adjust s&p. Store left overs in refrigerator.<\/p>\n
It is that easy for a fresh and flavorful homemade dressing.<\/p>\n
*you may use any vinegar you would like, remember, some have stronger flavors than others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
