Homemade Salad Dressing

by Vicki Delany

I haven't bought bottled dressing in years.  Not since I started making my own and realized how easy it is, not to mention how much better than the bottled stuff.

Give it a try. I bet you'll never go back.

1 clove garlic, minced finely
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
Maggi Seasoning, about 1 tbsp
sugar, about 1 tsp
salt
freshly ground pepper

These measurements are not exact, because I don't measure. I just judge and taste. You want about 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of vinegar as oil.

I find this keeps very well in the fridge for several weeks so I always make enough for several meals.

Combine everything into a mason jar.  Shake.

The oil and vinegar will separate in the fridge, so just give it a good shake before using it. If the oil hardens slightly in the fridge a few minutes at room temperature will be enough.

  2. Sort of similar to Worschester Sauce. A liquid seasoning that adds some flavour to meat. It isn't gluten-free, so when I had a gluten-free guest recently, I simply left it out and the dressing was still fine.

  3. Funny how we get into the habit of buying dressings when making them is so simple
