Recipe Summary Home-Opener Pasta Salad Dressing

I devised this recipe after searching the net and trying out recipes until I found a mix I liked. If I show up without this salad at BBQ's, there are usually some pretty unimpressed people around!

Ingredients | Basil Pasta Salad Dressing

½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup red wine vinegar

2 large cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons spicy Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon chopped fresh basil

¼ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

¼ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

¼ teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons pickle juice, or more to taste

Directions

Beat salad dressing, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, sugar, pepper, salt, basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley together in a bowl with a whisk until smooth; add pickle juice and stir to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.

Mayonnaise can be used in place of creamy salad dressing.

Summer savory is a great herb to use in this, if you prefer.
