Joe's Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette

Would you end buying non-fresh, sugar filled salad dressing already? I can drink Balsamic Vinegar straight. It is so good. I think between this dressing or a Caesar salad, who needs anything else? I hear the debates rumbling already. You'll literally need six ingredients. You can make this on demand. You can make in large quantities. What's not to like about homemade? And once you see how quick it is, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for ever spending hard earned money for poison in a bottle. Here it is.. (I had to fill in a little of the white space in an effort to keep your attention)

Balsamic Vinaigrette served on spring mix and spinach salad
What you'll need:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar (quality balsamic vinegar makes a difference folks)
1 garlic clove chopped fine and pressed to make a paste
1 tsp dry mustard powder (I use Coleman's)
Salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic and mustard powder. Adjust the flavor with salt and pepper (tri -blend pepper is my favorite in this). Refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Make less or more depending upon the amount of people you're serving.
