Today I have a simple recipe/mix for you. This is a great substitute for that store bought dressing you always buy. It is olive oil based and has a little kick to it...but to much of a kick...know what I mean :) Hubby's been using this recipe to top his salads that he brings to work. I made it for the first time last week and my anti-texting hubby, texted me to tell me how good it was. He sure knows how to make this lady smile....and jump up and down. Don't we all love it when our family likes what we make? I know I do :)
This is a super simple recipe to throw together. I like to whip it up in our nutri-bullet, but any blender will do. Store dressing in the fridge, in an air tight container. I like to use mason jars. Make sure to label and date your jar as well. This recipe should keep for a week or two in the fridge.
Red Pepper Vinaigrette
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 red bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic (I use garlic I buy in bulk from Costco. It comes in a jar)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup olive oil
In a blender, mix all ingredients. Use to top salads or to dip veggies in :)
Enjoy lovelies!!

How long does that Costco jar of garlic stay good for and how fast do you use it all up? I have been tempted to buy it but if we dont use it all and have to throw it out that negates all my savings.
