Build-Your-Own Salad Dressing
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil (see notes below for amount)
- Vinegar, either balsamic, white balsamic, red wine, white wine, rice, sherry, champagne, apple cider or lemon juice (see notes below for amount)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Mustard or honey, 1/2 to 1 tsp for every 6 Tbsp oil used (optional)
- Other optional ingredients include garlic, roasted garlic, garlic powder, shallot, fresh or dried herbs (parsley, chives, basil, tarragon, oregano, thyme, dill), chili flakes, anchovy, capers, poppy seeds, lemon zest
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a small container and either vigorously shake or mix with an immersion blender. Can also use a small blender to mix.
Notes
Ratio of olive oil to vinegar (or lemon juice) should be 3 to 1. 6 Tbsp oil = 2 Tbsp vinegar. 1/2 cup oil = 5 Tbsp + 1 tsp vinegar. 1 medium lemon should have about 3 Tbsp juice. Garlic can be crushed with salt before adding to other ingredients.
