Give it a good shake and serve immediately. It keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks but it's better if you get rid of the garlic pieces or it will just get more and more garlicky.

For some weird reason, I find the best red wine vinegar is the cheap and generic kind, lol. I've tried it with more expensive ones but it's not the same.

I've been wanting to make this one ^^^^^^^^^^

I'm currently using just lemon and avocado oil.

I usually use lemon juice and olive oil. I add some salt, pepper, garlic, and a bit of mustard to the lemon juice. Once I whisk or shake with oil, I strain out the garlic.

The problem with using olive oil in vinaigrettes in general is that olive oil congeals when refrigerated. That requires you to pull the dressing out of the refrigerator 15-20 minutes prior to serving. One way around this is to replace some of the olive oil with another oil like soybean or corn oil.

That's my go-to recipe except I use maple syrup instead of honey and omit the garlic.

I take it out of the frig when I begin prepping for dinner and it's liquified by the time I'm ready to toss the salad.
