By mamapig

Ingredients

• Makes: 3/4 cup (enough for several salads)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (the best stuff you’ve got)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put all in a jar with a lid. Shake. Add salt and pepper to taste. It will last at least a week in the refrigerator. Cook’s note: This is divine for all kinds of greens and vegetable salads, but you can use it for many other dishes. Some delicious options include:

Substitute lemon or lime juice for the vinegar and serve over fish. Toss with pasta and vegetables for a pasta salad. Use as a marinade for chicken breasts or add a shot of Worcestershire sauce and use to marinade steaks.
