This recipe has a lot of ingredients, but
most of them are seasonings, so it really is
very little extra work to measure them all
into a jar, or cruet. I use plain white
vinegar when making this recipe because it
is most available to me. If you had red wine
vinegar around the house somewhere, it would
be more regionally authentic, and give the
dressing a slightly different flavor. If you
don't have any lemon juice, just add another
tablespoon of vinegar, or you could just
omit it completely, and it won't make that
much difference in the finished product. To
make this recipe, combine all the
ingredients in a pint size canning jar and
shake to combine. It's that easy.
I like this recipe for marinated vegetable
and pasta salads, and also for marinated
salads which include veggie-turkey. The
strong tartness of this recipe makes it
perfect for strong flavors like tuna.
