Servings: 12 servings (2 tablespoons per serving)
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimentos drained
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
- 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.
