ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white 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)
directions
- 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.
- Mix thoroughly together. (I use a blender).
- Slowly mix oil in with the vinegar, herb mixture. This is where I use the blender as it makes the dressing a bit thicker.
- 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.
- Serve as your "everyday" dressing.
- 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.

Mmmmm. I loved the garlicky, herby flavor and the thick consistency of this dressing. Using the blender is a good trick for thickening! I'm one lucky girl to have your Aunt Ann's recipe. Thank you for passing it along, Andi. I really loved the story, too!! It makes this recipe all the more special. This dressing will go into my regular rotation for homemade salad dressings. Thank you, Andi! :)
