Greek Vinaigrette
Best made at least several hours before, so that the flavors are released.

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons crushed Greek oregano
1 teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper

Whisk all together or place in a jar and shake to combine. Store in the refrigerator.

Pomegranate Vinaigrette

1 cup pomegranate juice
4 - 5 packets stevia, to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons quality balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

In a stainless steel or enamel saucepan, boil the pomegranate juice for 10 minutes, to reduce to about 1/3 cup. Use the lowest heat setting that still allows the juice to boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Whisk before serving or place in a jar and shake.
