This shallot salad dressing has a nice oniony snap to it. I’ve listed the cook time as 20 minutes, but that’s really just olive oil sitting in a bowl picking up flavor from the minced garlic and shallot. Start the shallot and garlic marinating in the olive oil earlier and you’ll get even more flavorful results.

Author: Mary Saylor
Recipe type: salad dressing
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 medium-sized shallot
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
- Mince a medium-sized shallot very finely.
- Mince one clove of garlic very finely.
- Measure olive oil into a small bowl.
- Add minced shallot and garlic to bowl, let sit for at least 20 minutes to infuse flavor.
- While 20 minutes will do, longer is better, and you'll have great results starting this the day before or making a larger batch and using it for several days.
- To dress salad, add 1 tsp. of balsamic vinegar to a large mixing bowl of shredded greens, toss, then add olive oil/garlic/shallot mixture and toss again.
- Alternatively, add vinegar to the bowl of olive oil/garlic/shallot mixture, stir together, and then toss it with the salad.
