I was very interested to find a thread on home made salad dressing.

I have been making my own for many years, and I am very pleased with the results.

I found the recipe in Dr. A's book, and it is basically an oil, vinegar, mustard and various spices combination.

I always use exra virgin olive oil and taragon, or basil, or red wine vinegar, plus powdered hot mustard, and lots of garlic. Also includes lemon juice, salt and pepper.

I make at least 1 to 1 1/2 cups each time and store it in a sealed jar in the pantry. I have never had it turn bad on me, even though I do not keep it in the refrigerator. It does not last too long because I eat salads practically every day.

I use to keep it in the fridge years ago until I read somewhere that the oil would not spoil in room temperature.

If I keep the dressing too long in the jar, I find that it gets a stronger flavour.

Should I be keeping this jar in the fridge?

If I am incorrect in this please let me know.

Joe
