Basic vinaigrette


Those ready made vinaigrettes are sooo expensive when you look at the raw ingredients, plus if you make it yourself, you get to recycle that old jam jar (or go and purchase a lovely purpose made dressing container) and you can adapt it to your own taste, a little bit more mustard? Any more garlic? Or add honey, or try different oils…. Up to you

Ingredients (makes about half a cup)

4-6 tbs olive oil or sunflower (or mix of both)
1 tbs wine or cider vinegar
1 tbs lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, crushed
salt and pepper


method


mix all the ingredients in your chosen lidded container and shake well.
