Jimmy Johns Oil and Vinegar Recipe
This Jimmy Johns Oil and Vinegar Recipe is a blend of oils, vinegar, and seasonings that has been carefully balanced to hit every note.
Equipment
- Small mixing bowl/jar with tight-fitting lid.
- Whisk or spoon (if using a bowl)
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cup
- Funnel (not essential, but useful, in case you are putting it in a bottle)
- A small bottle or glass jar with a lid to store.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of vegetable oil or canola oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of sugar not necessary, serves to neutralize the acid
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Base
- In a mixing bowl or jar, mix the oil and the red wine vinegar till they are combined. When you are working with a jar, pour it in, put a tight lid on it, and shake like a mad man.
Step 2: Add Seasonings
- Add oregano, basil, the powder of garlic, onion, salt, pepper and sugar. Blend till all is evenly spread.
Step 3: Taste Test
- To check the balance, dip a piece of bread in the mixture. In case it is too sharp, pour in a little oil. Should it require additional tang, then add some additional drops of vinegar.
Step 4: Store
- Pour into a clean glass jar or bottle. Keep it in the refrigerator and not more than a week. One should shake very well every time using it because the oil and vinegar automatically separate.
