Balsamic Herb Dressinade

MAKES 1½ CUPS • TOTAL TIME: 35 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or ½ teaspoon dried

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 cup grape-seed oil or olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

• In a 1-pint glass jar, combine all the ingredients. Secure the lid and shake until combined. Let stand for 30 minutes before using.
• Store any unused dressing in the refrigerator. If the oil solidifies, run the sealed jar under warm water and shake well before using.
• If you’re using fresh herbs, this dressinade will last for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Dried herbs will give it a longer shelf life of 2 to 3 months.
