How do I make a simple vinaigrette?
0 views
A simple vinaigrette follows a 3:1 ratio of oil to acid. Start with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar (balsamic, red wine, apple cider, or rice vinegar). Add a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and optional Dijon mustard (which helps emulsify). Whisk vigorously or shake in a sealed jar until combined. Variations: add honey or maple syrup for sweetness, minced garlic or shallot for savory depth, fresh herbs like basil or oregano, or a splash of lemon juice. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
