Good foundation... plus a squeeze of mustard as an emulsifier to reduce separation.

Most mustard doesn’t “need” to be refrigerated but it won’t taste as intense as if you had.
Just pick up a few packets at a burger place. Lol!!! Not too life changing!
Stoneground mustard is a good stuff, can be eaten with anything. I used to not refrigerate rhe jars and never had issues

Oil is a key part of a salad dressing. Often people wonder what oils to use to make a dressing that will work with the dressing recipe. (and the oil not overpower the flavors of the other ingredients.

Here's a list of suitable oils to use.

Avocado oil (virgin) has a pronounced flavor
Sesame oil has a pronounced flavor
Extra Virgin Olive oil has a pronounced flavor

Neutral flavor oils

Safflower oil
Lite Refined Olive oil
Canola oil
Grapeseed oil
Flaxseed oil

It is best to use fairly fresh oil when making a salad dressing
 
If you want to try making this home style Italian vinaigrette dressing recipe it would compare to Paul Newman Italian dressing. It's like a dump recipe.


If you are on the road full time it may be more practical to just buy bottled dressings instead of having a large collection of herbs & spices. Or make this when at home before going on the road.

This is the mix recipe. Use generous 1/4 tsp measures and grind this lightly in a blender.

The Mix

1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon basil flakes
1/4 teaspoon thyme flakes
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery salt or celery seeds or celery flakes
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried onion flakes

In a glass jar with lid (10 to 14 oz size)

Add:

1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Vinegar
3 TB water
The mix above
Shake vigorously for a minute before serving on salad


If you want a Zesty Italian dressing use 2 TB lemon juice and 2 tsp water and 1 tsp dijon mustard in place of the 3 TB water.
