Vinaigrette, aka Salad Dressing

Don't ever buy salad dressing.

1 part vinegar : 3 parts oil                     Shake.          Thats it.


Now you can get interesting. You can use any vinegar with any oil plus any flavouring you can think of, that's a lot of options.

Often add 1/2 part sweetener.

To make a nice thick dressing, add everything but the oil and then using a hand blender slowly drizzle in oil. You could even add an egg at the beginning, and have a mayonaisse based dressing, like caesar.

Add salt. Most people don't season their leaf enough if at all.

Squeeze two lemons into a mason jar. Add a spoon of honey and a spoon of mustard. Slowly add grapeseed oil while blending with hand blender. Keep adding oil slowly until dressing thickens. Add a chunk of chevre goats cheese and fresh picked thyme. Taste all the time, at the beginning with no oil it's very sour, when finished the flavour should be balanced and delicious.

Or think of something yourself..

Try adding herbs, spices, raw, dried or cooked fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds......
