Make the Dressing
- In a medium jar or bowl, combine ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Slowly drizzle in ½ cup of olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well blended and emulsified. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Orzo
