This is the best vinaigrette I've ever had. I've tried LOTS of recipes but was always dissapointed. I mean HOW HARD is this??? I was looking here to 'try again' and Alton Brown immediately came to mind. He's the 'go to guy' for me when it comes to recipes. Viola!
I think it needs more salt, but then, I love salt! So taste before adding more. It does need to settle for the hour to round out the flavors. It seemed too vinegary at first so I was skeptical.
When I finally served it with the salad I made for dinner, "Hmmm...now this is good. Another bite, "Wow!" This is REALLY good! Ok, let's dip my left-over pizza crust in this stuff. YUM! Ok folks, "We have a winner!"
Do drain the garlic...I just put in a colander...works great. This is so good on so many different foods. Sprinkle on meats, sandwiches...dipped my pizza crust in it last night - YUM! Try it the original way first then add more herbs if you want to expand.
Thank you Alton, for a winner! I am dying to buy ALL your DVDs...I don't have tv reception so I try to catch your show whenever I can. You're my fave! :

Perfect for us! The Italians in our family demand vinaigrettes made with olive oil on salads at family dinners - this one tastes wonderful and preps fast. It mixed easily and held together (mustard binds it?. I'll use it on steamed broccoli & cauliflower for a change of pace at dinnertime in addition to traditional salads. Thanks, Alton, for another winner!

I make this up in double batches all summer long. It's perfect with salads made from fresh, locally-or-home grown ingredients because it doesn't overpower their flavors. I love using a dressing with no high fructose corn syrup or preservatives. This keeps on the counter for over a week.
The change I made to the technique is that a day or two before I need the next batch, I mix the oil and vinegar and add the garlic. I let it sit for a day or two, shaking the jar whenever I remember.
I use mason jars that supermarket spaghetti sauce came in because they're marked with ounces -- so easy to measure!
