Sweet Heat Salad Dressing

This is a great change up from standard dressings, who would've expected a kick of spice hidden among those fresh lettuce leaves. I prefer this dressing on a giant plate of fresh garden veggies, definitely a  patio party favourite!

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 tsp hot sauce of your choice (adjust to desired heat)
1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic

Whisk well until combined. Makes 300ml. Store in fridge.
