Ingredients:
| 1/2 cup | extra-virgin olive oil or neutral vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower |
| 1/4 cup | white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar or a combo of the two |
| 2 tablespoons | water |
| 1 to 2 | teaspoons honey |
| 1 teaspoon | freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| 3 tablespoons | freshly grated parmesan |
| 3/4 teaspoon | garlic salt |
| 3/4 teaspoon | dried parsley |
| 3/4 teaspoon | dried basil |
| 1/8 teaspoon | dried oregano |
| pinch of red pepper flakes | |
| freshly ground black pepper, to taste | |
Directions:
Measure all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you may whisk ingredients together in a bowl, process ingredients in a mini food processor, or blend them in a blender.) Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.
