Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon sugar

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Method

1.Make the dressing:
In a large, lidded jar that holds at least 8 ounces, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, water, dried basil, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Tightly cover with a lid. Shake vigorously until the ingredients are blended.  

This dressing is an excellent make-ahead option that can easily be doubled. If you plan to use it within 1 or 2 days, it can be kept on the counter. Any longer than that and you should store it in the fridge, where it will be good for several weeks. Just give it a vigorous shake before using.
