MOM'S SALAD DRESSING (RED WINE VINEGAR)

Mom's Salad Dressing (Red Wine Vinegar) image

Simple and sweet, only three ingredients. To be clear, this is NOT an Italian-style dressing. This is a mild, sweet, natural-tasting dressing with NO kick (that's how I like it). Still tastes good if you replace the sugar with Truvia, though not so good with low-fat mayonnaise.

SIMPLE RED WINE VINEGAR SALAD DRESSING

Simple red wine vinegar salad dressing image

This is sort of an Italian salad dressing, but Good Seasons Italian packets (for instance) don't seem to work well with red wine vinegar. This seems to work, and I really like the red wine vinegar flavor.

Tips:

Select high-quality ingredients: Use extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar of good quality. Fresh herbs and spices will also enhance the flavor of the dressing.
Adjust the taste to your preference: The suggested measurements are a starting point. Feel free to adjust the quantities of each ingredient until you achieve the desired balance of flavors.
Emulsify the dressing: Whisking the dressing vigorously helps to emulsify it, creating a smooth and creamy texture. If you find that the dressing is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or vinegar to thin it out.
Let the dressing rest: Allowing the dressing to rest for at least 30 minutes before using allows the flavors to meld together and develop. This step is optional, but it can make a big difference in the final result.
Store the dressing properly: Keep the dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it, bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

With its simple yet flavorful ingredients, this red wine vinegar-based salad dressing is a versatile addition to any salad.
