Jam Jar Shaker Dressing

Again, when time is short and you want an easy dressing for any type of salad whether it be a plain green or a mixed vegetable, this throw everything in a jam jar and shake like crazy dressing is definitely a winner. I like to add garlic as the flavour really improves over time but if not, keep it simple and just make with good quality olive oil, mustard and cider vinegar.

Makes a large jar, enough for 1 large salad or numerous individual salads

5 minutes

Ingredients

1 - 2 tsp French mustard
1 tbsp runny honey
Extra virgin olive oil - measuring 3/4 up the jar
Apple cider vinegar - start with 2 tbsp
1 clove garlic - crushed (optional)
Sea salt to taste and coarsely ground black pepper
1 x 340g glass jam jar with screw lid

Instructions

01 Place all vinaigrette ingredients into the clean jam jar. Secure the lid.
02 Shake vigorously until all ingredients are well infused.
03 Check the seasoning, add more sweetness via the honey, or cider vinegar for a sharpness. Add the salt in small pinches, and it is important to add, as the salt does ‘marry’ all the flavours together.
04 Store in the jar in a cupboard and 'shake' well when required.

Notes

So easy and quick to make, and will store up to a week or more. If the ingredients separate, just give a good shake to bring back together. Double up the recipe for a larger volume and of course, increase the jam jar size (650g glass jars work well with the above quantities).
