Deeply tart and full of robust flavor this homemade oil and vinegar dressing can be made in one minute and lasts for months in the refrigerator.
In keeping with my goal to make as many things homemade as possible, this oil and vinegar dressing recipe landed in my lap. I knew I had to make it since love this homemade poppyseed dressing. What’s better than a recipe that takes about 1 minute? Plus, there’s always the feeling of super woman when you’ve got homemade dressing in the refrigerator.
How to make Oil and Vinegar Dressing
Quite simply, mix all the ingredients together. Combine the sugar, salt oil and vinegar in a jar and shake until fully incorporated. Make sure the lid is on tight!
What kind of oil and vinegar should I use?
I prefer olive oil because I typically have it on hand. However, canola or vegetable oil would work great as well.
In terms of vinegar, I tried this recipe first with distilled vinegar. It was super tart. It was good on the salad but after making it with apple cider vinegar I decided I liked the flavor of that better. You can also use a wine vinegar as well.
How long will oil and vinegar dressing store in the refrigerator?
I store mine for months in the refrigerator with no problems. That is, if it lasts that long!
There were many times at my grandma’s home I remember her pulling out her homemade salad dressing, and when I found this recipe and made it, it brought back all those memories. I hope you enjoy this simple and basic oil and vinegar dressing recipe as much as our family has. Enjoy!
