Basic Vinaigrette With Variations

---

When i don't have the time or inclination to look up a recipe this is the salad dressing i make. I always have all the ingredients and i can change it up to match what i've put in the salad. I keep this in the fridge for up to a week and just bring it to room temperature and whisk again before serving.

Steps

---

Whisk the garlic cloves , mustard , vinegar , kosher salt , and pepper together in a bowl.

---

While whisking , slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify.

---

Taste for salt and pepper.

---

Variations:.

---

Use any other vinegar you have , including red wine vinegar and balsamic.

---

Leave out the garlic or add herbs as you like.

---

Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and / or substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a greek-like dressing.

---

I would leave out the mustard for this but the dressing will not emulsify as well without it.
