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.
