Can I use a different kind of vinegar?

While red wine vinegar is the classic Italian choice, you could replace it with white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar (like in our Balsamic Parmesan Viniagrette , which is delicious!).

How long does it last in the fridge?

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it will last for 1-2 weeks. Be sure to give it a good shake before using, as natural separation will occur. You can also microwave it for 5-10 seconds to help loosen it up after it's been refrigerated.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a mason jar with lid and shake until combined well. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if desired.

Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for 3+ months (be sure to leave 1 inch of headroom in the jar for expansion in the freezer).

Notes/Tips

Meal Prep Friendly: Double the recipe and freeze a batch for later. It freezes well for up to 3 months—just leave 1 inch of headroom in your jar for expansion.
Shake It Up: Separation is natural. You may want to warm in the microwave for 5-10 seconds after being stored in the fridge. Shake well before each use.
Make It Your Own: Want a little kick? Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes, dried Italian seasoning, or fresh chopped herbs.
