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.
 
This is for all of the mustard emulsifier lovers who gave me such powerfully important information on the best chemical salad dressing solution regarding my fallible and imperfect olive oil vinaigrette dressing concoction……..

A mini 8oz bottle of mustard for the paltry sum of 64 cents!!! Ok maybe I’ll splurge on it the next time I get to Walmart and hope I can find a place to keep it.
