 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  cup           olive oil
    1/4  cup           basalmic vinegar
  2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard -- grey poupon
    1/4  teaspoon      salt
  1      teaspoon      fresh ground black pepper
  3      large         garlic cloves -- minced
  1      large         lemon -- juiced

To make the sauce, either whip all the ingredients together in a blender at
high speed for several minutes, or follow the old time-honored process:
Combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and the garlic.  Beat in the olive
oil gradually with a fork or a whisk until the mixture emulisfies.
Remember-whole fresh garlic cloves must be used or the sauce won't be
sharp!

NOTES : I use my Tupperware shaker to whip up this tasty dressing.  Great on
salads, cold par-cooked asparagus, and as the marinade in reciped that
call for oil packed artichokes (I always use water packed ones).
