| This version of the classic and ever-popular Italian dressing is made healthier (and IMO much tastier!) by using extra-virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Olive oil has many more health benefits and is less processed than vegetable oil, it also has a higher smoke point so it's safer to cook with. I use this both on salads and to marinate chicken, and I find it adds so much more flavor than any store-bough version I've tried, and it's super easy! INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon garlic sea salt 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon parsley 1/4 teaspoon pepper DIRECTIONS Combine all ingredients in a mason jar, cover tightly with a lid, and shake vigorously until well blended and emulsified. |  |
