Salad Dressing

This is an easy dressing to have in the fridge and tastes wonderful. I like it best on mixed greens with toasted pecans or walnuts, beets or dried cherries, and crumbled feta or blue cheese.

Mix in blender:
1 1/2c canola oil
1c white vinegar
3T sugar
1 1/2t salt
1 1/2t paprika
3/4t dry mustard (or a squirt of regular mustard)
pinch of pepper
1 head garlic
the top section of leaves from three basil plants (or 2T dry basil)

Keeps well in the fridge
