Recipe Notes

I mentioned that this recipe calls for Red Wine Vinegar. Other vinegars that could also work include balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar.
Also, since we all have our own personal tastes you can feel free to tweak the ingredients to your likings.
I like to make my salad dressing in wider mouth jar, such as a canning jar with a lid, that I can fit a small sized whisk into if needed.
