This salad dressing is brought to you by my mother. This is her recipe and I love making a batch of it and keeping it in my fridge for salads or as a dipper for veggies snacks throughout the week. This dressing is made with only 5 simple ingredients.
Ingredients: (this serving is enough for about 2-3 salads, depending on how much dressing you like. Feel free to adjust serving amounts).
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon of seedy mustard
1/6 cup balsamic vinegar
1/6 cup cold pressed olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
I made this salad dressing with our Magic Bullet, which helps make the dressing smooth because it breaks down the mustard seeds and garlic. You can also make this dressing by hand if you don’t have a small sauce blender. I love doing it both ways!
Peel and finely chop the garlic.
If you are using a Magic Bullet, place the garlic, mustard, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt & pepper in the small container with the flat blade attachment. Blend until ingredients are evenly mixed. Add a tiny bit of water if you like your dressing less thick.
If you are mixing by hand, place all of the ingredients in a small bowl or a jar. Using a jar makes it easier to shake and mix evenly as well as saves the dressing for the days to come. Shake or mix with a fork for 30 seconds until ingredients are evenly mixed.
Gentle drizzle your desired amount of dressing. Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge up to 10 days. Know that the olive oil and vinegar naturally separate so you just have to gentle stir before serving.
