                WAAAAAYYYYYY too oily.  Tried Rose's dressing also, and WAAAAAYYYYYY  too oily.  I think your ratios are wrong.  I mean really?  1 Cup oil to barely more than a quarter cup acid?  What's for dessert? ExLax brownies?

                This is an exceptional good dressing especially for mesclun mix.  I've tried it using dried herbs, but it's just not the same.  Fresh herbs indeed make this dressing my favorite.

Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes 1 1/3 cups

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

2 teaspoons dried mustard

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil

The trick to achieving a good emulsification – suspending the oil in water-based ingredients such as vinegar – is to add the oil toward the end and whisk it in a little bit at a time.
