Italian Dressing

This is a very minor modification to Brian Lagerstrom's recipe, found in this video.

2 cups of dressing
ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp champagne vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 5 Tbsp grainy mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, rough chop
  • ¼ red bell pepper, rough chop (about 1 to 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 shallot, rough chop
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flake
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 cup olive oil
  1. Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a 2 c measuring cup. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
  2. Continue to run the blender while drizzling-in the olive oil.
  3. Once emulsified, transfer to a jar and enjoy,

Many Italian dressings out include semi-dry cheeses like parmasan, asiago, or romano. Finely-crumble and add those ingredients after blending.
