4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive pâté or paste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Fresh chopped basil (optional)
Combine all ingredients
and shake well. Let stand for several minutes to let flavors blend or
store in refrigerator. For added zip add 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh chopped
basil if your salad has fresh tomatoes in it. (Add the basil just before
serving as the flavor intensifies with age)
