A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

A classic vinaigrette for a classy salad. Red wine vinegar, oil, and Dijon mustard give this dressing a fresh tasting zing that you just can't get with store-bought.

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 1/2 cup corn or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
Combine the vinegar and garlic in a bowl. Let sit for 20 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
Remove the garlic from the vinegar. Whisk in the oil and mustard until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Whisk well before serving.

This dressing is delicious. I didn't have Dijon mustard so I used the only thing I had, which was a spicy brown mustard; it was excellent. Highly recommended.

this vinaigrette dressing is so easy and will get raves. it's not as heavy as a balsamic, since you use red wine vinegar. I use 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp ground pepper. And I simply put all the ingredients into the salad dressing jar and shake - easy!
