Favorite Salad Dressing

Several years ago Melissa d'Arabian won the Next Food Network Star on the Food Channel.  I loved everything she made and she very much deserved the win.  Below is a variation of her Cafe Green Salad Dressing that is our family favorite:

1 garlic clove, grated
3 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
3 splashes soy sauce
9 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Sea salt and black pepper

Grate the garlic clove (I use a microplane grater) into a measuring cup or bowl.  Add the rest of the ingredients, tasting for saltiness and add pepper to taste.  Pour all into a jar and shake.

This recipe is 3 times the original.  I use it on everything: vegetable salads, green salads with fruit.

Enjoy!  And thank you Melissa!
