Total Time: 10mns

Benefits:
This is a great dressing using heart healthy olive oil, garlic (a natural 'antibiotic' and immunity booster), and white balsamic vinegar which is healing and soothing for your digestive system and contains a number of nutrients and antioxidants, such as polyphenols that lower LDL cholesterol. 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 clove crushed garlic
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 pinch salt
Ground black pepper to taste
Fresh Herbs of choice (optional)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and mustard. 
   
2. Crush the Garlic clove with the back of a knife and drop into the mix.
   
3. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Stir in minced fresh herbs if desired. (think basil, thyme or tarragon!)
   

Tip: I sometimes add 1tsp of honey as a variation. It tastes delicious!
