     3/4           cup  red wine vinegar

     1/2    tablespoon  sweet basil -- dried

     1/2         small  red onion -- sliced

Preparation:

Mix dressing and stir extras into noodles before serving. Can eat right away, but best if it sits for a while. When getting ready to serve, check to make sure that seasonings are correct. Sometimes we like to double the dressing.
