Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil OR neutral vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower
  • • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar OR red wine vinegar OR a combo of the two
  • • 2 tablespoons water
  • • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
  • • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
  • • 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • • 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • • 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
  • • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Measure all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you may whisk ingredients together in a bowl, process ingredients in a mini food processor, or blend them in a blender.) Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.
