In a clean 16-32 ounce jar with lid (like an old spaghetti sauce jar), combine vinegar, parsley, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, pepper, salt and honey. Place lid on jar and shake vigorously until ingredients are well combined.
3
Add olive oil to jar, shake vigorously until ingredients are well combined.
4
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to develop.
5
Serve and refrigerate unused portion for up to 3 weeks. (Note: The olive oil will clump up when refrigerated so take the jar of dressing out 30 minutes before using or run the jar under hot water for a few minutes before shaking well and serving.)
EQUIPMENT: - Liquid measuring cup - Measuring spoons - Large (16-32 ounce) glass jar with lid
MIX IT UP! - In a hurry? Leave out the herbs. Just mix vinegar, oil, honey, salt and pepper. - Is the balsamic to strong? Reduce to 1⁄4 cup of balsamic vinegar or switch out for a milder vinegar like red wine vinegar. - Instead of using dried parsley and oregano, use 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano. - Try using 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped garlic, instead of powdered garlic.
*Honey should not be fed to infants less than one year of age. (Note: Substitute agave or maple syrup)
