Tips:

  • Always use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.

  • You can use any type of vinegar you like in this dressing. White wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar are all good choices. If you're using a strong vinegar, such as balsamic vinegar, you may want to use less of it.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of oil and vinegar in this dressing to suit your taste. If you like a lighter dressing, use more vinegar. If you like a richer dressing, use more oil.
  • This dressing is best when made fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to shake it well before using.
