"This makes quite a bit of dressing. Don't pour it all on at once. Add it until you're happy and then save the leftovers for your next salad. I like sweet cherry peppers in salad and I hate to toss the brine, so I make this vinaigrette with it when the jar of peppers is almost gone. I add the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to the jar, close the lid and shake. I wrote the instructions to use a mixing bowl, because everyone has that, but using the jar saves dishes and gives me a container to save leftovers, if there are any (and there usually are)."
