Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 3 tablespoons vinegar (although any in the cupboard works here)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste, i tend towards more rather than less for this recipe)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper (to taste)
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon parsley (fresh or dried)
• 1/4 teaspoon basil (fresh or dried)
• 1/4 teaspoon rosemary (dried)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar (or splenda, or honey optional)
• 1/4 cup olive oil (make sure olive oil is the dominate taste)

Recipe

• 1 using a mason jar, cruet, bowl, or blender put vinegar, salt, ground pepper, cloves, oregano,parsley, basil, rosemary, ground mustard and sugar or honey if using, in container.
• 2 mix thoroughly together. (i use a blender).
• 3 slowly mix oil in with the vinegar, herb mixture. this is where i use the blender as it makes the dressing a bit thicker.
• 4 sometimes though, if i am in a big hurry, i just use a mason jar, and mix the oil in a little at a time and then shake vigorously.
• 5 serve as your "everyday" dressing.
• 6 i leave this out on my counter for about two days (gets even more intense), or you can put it right into the refrigerator. ours just doesn't last that long.
