A very easy French Dressing with a few twists. This is a make ahead recipe wth a yield of about 250 mls or 1/2 pint; it keeps for about 7 to 10 days with no problems at all. I have stated dried herbs & seasonings - you can use fresh herbs & seasonings too, but this decreases the keeping time slightly. The oil content in this is considerably lower than most classic French dressings - making it a healthier option, and you know what has gone into it too.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juice of
2 teaspoons dried shallot granules/powder or 2 teaspoons dried onion granules/powder
2 teaspoons dried garlic granules
1 teaspoon sugar or 1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Note

I have stated dried herbs & seasonings - you can use fresh herbs & seasonings too, but this decreases the keeping time slightly

Directions

Step 1	Select a clean bottle preferably with a lip OR, as I often do, a clean jam jar.
Step 2	Carefully measure all the ingredients into the bottle or the jam jar.
Step 3	Give it all a good shake - making sure the lid is on securely!
Step 4	Store in a cool and dark place.
Step 5	Note: I do store this in the fridge when it is really hot. It is also great to drizzle over roasted vegetables or to add to potato salad.
