I grew up with a simple Italian Dressing for salads. Back in the day, in upstate New York, salads were very basic. I remember the Regina Red Wine Vinegar as a staple in our cupboard. Times were simple back then. Sometimes salads were
just iceberg lettuce, or iceberg lettuce with tomatoes. Endive was the other "green" we would eat. Simple. The dressing was always added to the salad as ingredients, and not prepared as a dressing. Simple, yet I find the best way to have a salad.
Ingredients
Red Wine Vinegar (4-6 Tablespoons)
Extra Virgin or Regular Olive Oil (2-3 tablespoons)
Oregano or Italian Blend Seasoning
Cracked Salt
Cracked Pepper
Greens (Iceberg - Spring Mix)
Prepare the greens in a salad bowl. (Cut the greens to your preference)
Drizzle the olive oil over the greens providing a thin coating on the top.
Toss the Greens prior to adding the Red Wine Vinegar.
Add the Vinegar
Toss Again.
Add the Condiments (To You Liking.)
Again, toss the salad and serve.
Quite simple, however I love this dressing recipe. If you have a bitter green such as endive, you can add a liberal amount of vinegar. Bitters go well with a heavy vinaigrette Italian dressing.
