An all natural homemade dressing that brings an Italian flavor to salads and it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Servings: 8 people
Calories: 56kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons pepper q.b. to your taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt q.b. to your taste
- ½ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- ½ cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- In a blender mix together the white balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Dijon-style mustard.
- With the blender on, slowly pour in the extra-virgin olive oil and mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Add the oregano, basil and thyme pulse once or twice -- just enough to blend.
- Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Give the dressing a good whisk or shake immediately before serving.
- Does not need to be refrigerated.
Notes
- This would be a great addition to a pasta salad or used as marinade.
- Trader Joe's has a good white balsamic vinegar that is reasonably priced -- I don't get compensated for saying that :-)
- We have used red wine vinegar in this recipe but we found it too acidic for our taste but you may like it that way.
