Lefty's Vinaigrette:

  1. Whisk together the red wine vinegar, canola oil, olive oil, parsley, vinegar, salt, dried basil, mustard powder, dried oregano, sugar, black pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Bottle and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavors bloom. Shake to blend before using.
