Easy Garlic Vinaigrette

Super, super simple; a million times better than anything you can buy in a bottle; and made with ingredients you can pronounce!

A few whole garlic cloves, minced
Extra virgin olive oil (about a tablespoon per person)
Balsamic vinegar (to taste; about a teaspoon per person)

Heat the oil over med-low heat in a skillet. Add as much garlic as you'd like, and heat till it gets aromatic, starts to sizzle, and begins to turn golden. I smash it with a fork to infuse the oil even more. Remove from the heat, cool back down to room temperature, and whisk in the vinegar. You can add any herbs you'd like too, but I think it's simple and delicious with just the three ingredients.

  1. Thanks! I need to start making my own dressing. Years back we used to love ranch but none of us like it anymore. Probably because it tastes so fake and it masks the flavor of the lettuce. I want something to enhance it! We'll try this :)
