Wet Ingredients:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced (optional)
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup oil

Dry Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash
1 tablespoon Lawry's Garlic Salt
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons dry pectin

Combine well the dry ingredients in a Ziplock bag. You can multiply the quantities to produce any amount you wish and store the dry portion in the cupboard until needed.

To mix up a batch, mix the water, oil, and vinegar in a Good Season's cruet or a blender. Some balsamic vinegar may be substituted for red wine vinegar (half of each is good).

If using a blender, you can also add a few fresh cloves of garlic to taste. If you will not be using a blender, mince the fresh garlic and allow to soak in the vinegar before using.

Add 2 tablespoons of dry herb and salt mixture to each batch.
