Garlicky Mustard Vinaigrette

Name: Garlicky Mustard Vinaigrette
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 6 tablespoons olive oil; 6 tablespoons vinegar (any kind); 3 tablespoons dijon mustard; 2 teaspoons dried basil; 3 garlic cloves, minced or put through a press; 3⁄4 teaspoon salt; Black pepper to taste

This is a good basic, tangy salad dressing that you can adjust to your own taste. Red wine vinegar will make it mellow, for example, while balsamic will make it a bit sweet. Add different herbs, if you like. It makes plenty: enough for the Classic(ish) Three-Bean Salad and then a couple of large green salads too.
