Italian Dressing
1 cup of dressing
ingredients:
- ¾ cup olive oil (from confit)
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp thyme (dried)
- ½ tsp oregano (dried)
- ½ tsp basil (dried)
- ½ tsp parsley (dried)
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flake
- black pepper to taste (freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Combine all ingredients (except the cheese if you're using it) in a measuring cup then use an immersion blender to briefly pulse everything together and emulsify. This will also more-finely chop the dried herbs and pepper flakes, which should yield stronger flavor in the dressing and fewer large "bits" in your mouth.
If using cheese, add it after blending the dressing.
