Italian Salad Dressing

By Joschef

Ingredients

• 1 cup neutral salad oil, such as canola (See Recipe Note)
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 large garlic clove, pressed
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. (I love this shaker.) Shake vigorously until the mixture is thickened and well-combined. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
Taste the dressing using a lettuce leaf and adjust seasonings. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
