Over 5.00 still seems pricey for dressing. I always use Bertoli extra light olive oil. It has almost no flavor. I would use that as a thickener.
Yeah I know but all the cheap stuff has corn syrup or worse, HFCS, so I've been trying a different dressing every time that don't have those but I'm limited. I'm not into the rich dressings like blue cheese, ranch and not into the red/orange ones. My basic homemade oil/vinegar dressings have left something to be desired so I've been trying things, regardless of price to get a some ideas. Made some balsamic vinagrette once that was good but it burned my lips by the end of a salad. LOL
This one seems like a winner that I can make and the bottled was a little on the sweet side but I can adjust that. I've looked for dressing recipes a little but they all seem to have 3-4 ingredients including the oil and vinegar or well over a dozen. Either that or they're just bizarre.
I just bought Pompeain extra virgin olive oil. It says Robust on the bottle so probably not flavorless. I'll keep the Bertoli EL in mind. Seems like it was the cheapest EV olive oil that is 'first cold pressed' which I had read is the best as far as quality. I had been buying the cheap store brand, just plain olive oil, not EV or anything.
Went to that store today. It's $4.39 for the 12oz bottle. Sweetened with cane sugar, no corn syrup or hfcs. I grabbed a bottle because I haven't attempted to make something close to it with the onion/pepper relish I have yet and I'm out of dressing.
