Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Whisk to combine all ingredients together well.
  • Pour dressing into an airtight bottle or jar.
  • Refrigerate several hours before serving.
  • Shake well before serving.

Recipe Tips

Whisking by hand works, but for a smoother emulsion, use a jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously. For an even smoother consistency, a quick blend in a blender creates a temporarily stable emulsion. Remember that oil and vinegar naturally separate, so always shake before serving.
