(VINEGAR AND OIL BASE):

4 oz. red wine vinegar
12 oz. olive or vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. leaf basil
2 tsp. parsley

Olive oil is the healthier choice, but it will require being brought to room temperature before you serve, if it has been refrigerated.

Combine salt, pepper and herbs with vinegar. Slowly add oil while mixing. This recipe will separate, so mix well before serving. It's great for pasta or tossed salad. Marinated vegetable Italian sub sandwiches. If it's too oily, add salt, too much vinegar, add sugar.
