Secret Australian Salad Dressing

My mom tells me that my father was an amazing cook but his recipes were always kept secret. He said that an Australian never shares their recipes until their death bed. He made a fabulous home made salad dressing that is still my favorite today as my mom tried her best to duplicate it. You make a whole jar of it so it will last you a while.

Be green and use an old jar from pasta sauce or mustard depending on how much you want to make. We always use the bigger pasta sauce jar.

1. Fill jar half way with extra virgin olive oil. (If you don't like your dressings to vinegary you can add a little more than half).
2. Crush 1 clove of garlic into the olive oil and let it marinate for a few minutes.
3. Squeeze half a lemon into the mixture.
4. Add one heaping spoonful of Dijon mustard for a small jar and two spoonfuls for a bigger jar.
5. Add rice vinegar to fill the jar the rest of the way up.

You also can add a few splashes of balsamic vinegar and dill.

Shake the mixture like you've never shaken anything before, taste test it and adjust the mixture to your liking. There are no exact measurements on this so you can experiment until you get it just to your liking and can pass it on to your family unless you want to carry it to your grave like the Aussies.
