Simple Italian Dressing

We almost never buy salad dressing anymore, because it is so easy to make our own and it ensures that there isn't any sugar or preservatives added. This is one of my favorites! You don't have to use a Vitamix or blender. A shaker cup will do fine, but the blender emulsifies the dressing to give a creamy delicious texture!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 t sea salt or 1/2 t Himalayan salt
1/4 t pepper
1/2 t Italian spices (basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary etc.)
1-2 whole cloves garlic, pressed if not using blender (optional)
2 t organic dijon mustard (optional)

Directions:

Put all ingredients in Vitamix. Slowly turn up the speed until 10 on low. Mixture will turn a creamy yellow.
Alternatively, you may mix in a mason jar or shaker cup.
