Makes about 1 cup
Salad dressings aren’t all that hard to make at home, in fact, they’re damn easy and you can control the amount of salt and sugar you put in them and you don’t have to use any chemical preservatives, dyes or fillers. If you are avoiding sugar, you can replace it with a non sugar sweetener.
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, very finely minced, or to taste
About 2 tablespoons very finely minced onion
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
A scant pinch of crushed dry hot peppers, or to taste
Salt and fresh, coarse ground black pepper to taste
Put all ingredients into a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake vigorously to mix. Refrigerate until needed. It is best if it is allowed to sit at least overnight before using. |
