Step:

  1. Mix all ingredients except oil first, and stir until ALL the salt and sugar are dissolved, and then adjust the seasoning before adding the oil. A little more sugar if the vinegar's too acidic, a little more salt if needed - because it's hard to taste through the oil.

  2. Add oil and remember to give it all a good stir just before dressing so you get an even distribution of oil and vinegar in your salad.

  3. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  1. 1 teaspoon dried basil
  2. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  3. 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  4. 1 little less than 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  6. 1 clove garlic, crushed (I take the clove out when I get the desired intensity of garlic flavor)
  7. 1 teaspoon minced shallots (but minced onion also works in a pinch)
  8. 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar (but you could also use white wine or regular white vinegar)
  9. 1 Tablespoon water
  10. 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
