Easy Italian Salad Dressing

1/3 cup oil, either olive oil or salad oil

2/3 cup apple cider vinegar, either Spectrum or Braggs

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs, or fresh if you have it*

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic or shallots, optional

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional

Mix dried herbs with vinegar. Add garlic or shallots if using and mix well. Add oil, mix well. Can be used right away, but gets better after being refrigerated for a day.

*Note:

If using fresh herbs try 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh oregano plus 1/2 teaspoon minced thyme.
