Red Wine Vinaigrette

This simple dressing is such a great basic vinaigrette.  I use it on a number of salads and it always is such a wonderful compliment.  There are only a few ingredients, and it takes just a few minutes to prepare.  It is full flavor and so simple, you will wonder why you ever bought ready-made dressing before!

2/3 C extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
