Salad Dressing Basics
Make dressings as you need them and store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to a week. They are simple to make, taste sensational and have no artificial flavours, additives or gums that are in many store-bought dressings.
The most straightforward vinaigrette of all contains the following ingredients:
- ½ tsp of Murray River Salt
- 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar
- 6 tbsp of Illalangi EVOO
- Fresh mountain pepper berries ground to taste
Method:
Simply whisk all these ingredients together to create your simple salad dressing, and drizzle over your salad at the time of serving.
Ingredients within this recipe can be changed, removed, or added to alter the taste of the dressing to your liking.
