    List of Ingredients




    1 medium onion
    3 large cloves of garlic
    1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (tightly packed)
    2 tsp dry basil
    2/3 cup rice vinegar
    1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup coarse prepared mustard
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

    Recipe



    Peel the onion and garlic cloves then mince together with the fresh basil leaves.

    Put in quart jar with tight-fitting lid, and add the remaining ingredients. Shake up and season as needed with salt and pepper. Store in a cool place. Each night you simply shake it up and pour over a salad.

    Variations:
    For Thai-style dressing that is good over rice noodles, grains or crunchy vegetable salads, blend 1/2 cup dressing with 2 tablespoons minced fresh chile, 1/4 cup minced fresh coriander, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 cup crushed peanuts.

    For ranch dressing: blend 1/3 cup of dressing with 1/3 to 1/2 cup buttermilk.
