A flavorful and tangy Italian-style vinaigrette perfect for salads and marinades.
Combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, dry mustard, minced garlic clove, Tabasco sauce, and cayenne in a salad dressing bottle.
Use a funnel to easily transfer the ingredients into the bottle without spilling.
Seal the bottle tightly and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
Shaking the bottle thoroughly ensures the oil and vinegar emulsify properly.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or sugar to balance the flavors.
Always taste your dressing before serving to ensure the flavors are balanced.
Serve the vinaigrette over your favorite salad or use as a marinade for meats or vegetables.
Drizzle the vinaigrette just before serving to keep the salad fresh and crisp.
