  1. Make the vinaigrette by combining the canola oil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, sugar, oregano, basil, dried mustard, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt & freshly cracked pepper, to taste, in a glass jar or small bowl.  Whisk until well combined; set aside to allow the flavors to mingle–at least 30 minutes.
