Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Put the vinegar, water, mustard, sugar and salt in a clean jar with a tight lid. Shake until the sugar and salt dissolve.

2. 2

   Add the garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, pepper and red pepper flakes.

3. 3

   Pour in the oil, seal the jar and shake hard for 30 seconds, until the dressing turns cloudy and thick.

4. 4

   Let it stand for 15 min so the dried herbs soften and release their flavor, then shake again.

5. 5

   Dip a fingertip in to taste, then adjust with more salt, pepper or a splash of vinegar.

6. 6

   Toss with a green salad, or spoon over a sub sandwich. Refrigerate for up to 5 days and shake before each use.
