- Sea Salt
- Raw Garlic
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Safflower Oil – a very light oil which is high oleic, this safflower oil gives this dressing a great texture when blended with the olive oil.
- Granulated sugar for a little extra sweetness
- Pint Sized Mason Jars – I like these wide mouth pints to make all my salad dressings in – I love adding all ingredients to the jar, sealing the air tight lid, and shaking for about 30 seconds. It’s easier (and way less messy) than using a bowl.
