This is just a basic recipe. You can swap for a different vinegar you have on hand and/or add herbs and spices to your liking. I prefer my dressings tangy, so I use this 2:1 ratio of olive oil to vinegar but if you don't love vinegar as much, try this method with a 3:1 ratio of oil to vinegar instead. Making homemade salad dressings is a great way to save money and control the ingredients, and it just takes an extra minute to prep.
Ingredients:
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp your favorite mustard
• pinch of salt & pepper
Directions:
Whisk ingredients together in a bowl or add them to an airtight container and shake to combine. That's it!
