This has been our go-to marinade/dressing for so many years, I’m not even sure when I first made it. What I do know…it’s so tasty and versatile you’ll find all sorts of ways to use it! We use it all the time and the wonderful thing about it, if we use it for marinating veggies we’re going to grill, we pour it back into a jar and store it in the fridge and re-use it as a marinade the next week or even as a dressing*. Depending on the veggies you marinade (like sweet onions) it will lend some more depth to the flavors!

I know some folks like to use marinades and then boil on the stove top and re-use…not here. Our family slogan “when in doubt, throw it out!” ~ we just don’t like making each other, or anyone else sick!!
