In Italy we say it takes 3 people to dress a salad, a wise person to add the salt, a generous person to add the extra virgin olive oil and a stingy person to add the vinegar (or lemon juice). Some add a forth person a patient person to toss it. The most important ingredient is the oil, it should be main ingredient and should be of the finest quality. Simple!
Phenomenal! Phenomenally easy! Phenomenally delicious! Will definitely add this to my Family Favorites!!!!! Loved that the ingredients were familiar, and ones I stock--in abundance. Thank you, Sam!
Delish. I used dried herbs de Provence in place of fresh basil and doubled the recipe for a week's worth of salads. Perfect.
Oops! Don’t make my mistake! I added condensed balsamic vinegar. It resulted in a sludgy sticky mess! Be sure you’re using plain balsamic vinegar.
We loved this! I used white balsamic because it was a very hot evening, and it came out light and delicious.
Don't skip the salt and pepper at the end. My new favorite dressing. I've prepared this both as written and subbing basil for italian seasoning (dried herbs) - both versions are delicious. I prepared this in a glass jar, put the lid on, gave it a shake. It's handy to have in the fridge.
