When I don't have the time or inclination to look up a recipe this is the salad dressing I make. I always have all the ingredients and I can change it up to match what I've put in the salad. I keep this in the fridge for up to a week and just bring it to room temperature and whisk again before serving. Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon kosher salt (less if using table salt) |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2-2/3 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. Whisk the garlic cloves, mustard, vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
2. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify.
3. Taste for salt and pepper.
4. Variations:.
5. Use any other vinegar you have, including red wine vinegar and balsamic.
6. Leave out the garlic or add herbs as you like.
7. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and/or substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a Greek-like dressing. I would leave out the mustard for this but the dressing will not emulsify as well without it.
