Basil Vinaigrette Dressing

Mom has always loved salads, so it is not surprising to see salad dressing recipes in her recipe box. Mom told me that her favorite is the French Village Inn Salad Dressing, which is delicious, but this dressing is good and worth trying too.

The ingredients for this salad dressing are simple and common to any vinaigrette dressing. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for some time, but the ingredients will separate, so you will need to allow it to sit out of the refrigerator for a few minutes before using it. I like to use a wide-mouth jar so I can either shake it or stir it with a spoon. If you have never tried making homemade salad dressing, this easy dressing is an easy way to start.

Basil Vinaigrette Dressing  

• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves

Combine all ingredients. Beat until thoroughly blended. Enjoy on your salad!
