Where it sits

One of 719 vinaigrettes in the catalog, with 4 ingredients against a median of 6.

The acid here is sumac. In this category chefs also reach for lemon juice (160 recipes), red wine vinegar (125), and Sherry vinegar (110).

The fat here is olive oil. In this category chefs also reach for grapeseed oil (75 recipes) and canola oil (34).

It carries no emulsifier, as 37% of the catalog’s vinaigrettes do.

Method

Pour to the lines in order (bottom → top): OLIVE OIL.
Shake-to-line (dashed marks): add SUMAC. Spoon in, shake, and top up until the settled level reaches each dashed line.
Season to finish: SALT (to taste), PEPPER (to taste).
Cap the jar and shake until emulsified.

FAQ

Can this go in a shake jar?

Yes. Its liquids pour to printed fill-lines, so it can be one of the sauces on a PantryFlex jar.

What do the quantities mean?

This page lists the published recipe in household units (with metric in parentheses). A PantryFlex jar makes a 2.5× batch of it. The jar's printed lines, counts, and QR guide are already scaled to match, so follow the jar or this page, not a mix of both. Amounts in the jar’s ADD row are rounded to the nearest common spoon measure (T = tablespoon, t = teaspoon) so they can be read off the glass.
