This olive oil dressing is a healthy and easy alternative to store-bought salad dressings. Get creative! Add in a teaspoon of dried herbs, some minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, a teaspoon of honey, etc.

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients into a jar, or another container with a tightly sealed lid.
2. Close the lid, shake well, and serve!
3. Eventually the olive and vinegar will separate, so simply shake it back up.

Tips:

• Get creative! Add in a teaspoon of dried herbs, some minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, a teaspoon of honey, etc.
• The dressing should be stored in the fridge. It will keep well for several weeks, BUT if you add other ingredients such as fresh herbs, it should be eaten within 3 days.
• The olive oil may solidify slightly when refrigerated, but it will quickly return to liquid as it warms.
