Recipe tip: Make your own simple salad dressing! Combine 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon basil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and let sit for 5 minutes to develop flavors. Whisk in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and use in place of prepared vinaigrette. Store extra dressing in a sealed container for up to one week.
