HOW TO MAKE A BASIC VINAIGRETTE

The basic salad vinaigrette recipe contains fresh lemon juice (or other acid) mixed with olive oil.  

For example, one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and three tablespoons of olive oil will make a small single serving.

Make a larger amount with 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice mixed with 3/4 cups olive oil. 

This is the basic ratio.  Ingredients can be adjusted to personal preferences.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE OLIVE OIL 

To make the vinaigrette, consider using a fancy extra-virgin olive or a mild-flavored one that you really like.  Doesn’t have to be expensive.  Just make sure you love the taste.

Lightly use extra-virgin olive oil because it can overwhelm delicate flavors in a salad.   

For a milder flavor, use half extra-virgin oil and half mild regular olive oil to make the dressing.
