I believe that the most important thing that you need to know about making fresh vinaigrette is the ratio between the two basic ingredients. They are:
3 parts of oil (I prefer extra virgin olive oil or avocado) and 1 part of acid (I prefer fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar) I will provide you with other options so you can make a salad dressing with the ingredients that you love. Start with the following Basic Ingredients: ½ c. extra virgin olive oil (the oil, see oil list for your favorite as follows) ¼ c. vinegar of your choice (the acid, select from the acid list for your favorite as follows) 2 Crushed garlic (I love to add this) Salt and pepper to-taste NOW, SELECT YOUR FAVORITES FROM THE FOLLOWING LISTS: ACID OPTIONS LIST (Remember, 1 part of this) Lime or Lemon juice Balsamic Vinegar White or Red Wine Vinegar Apple Cider Vinegar OILS OPTIONS LIST (Remember, 3 parts of this) Avocado Oil Peanut Oil Coconut Oil Canola Oil Any other vegetable oil OTHER MIX-IN LIST, this depends on the flavor that you intent to accomplish; Italian??? Greek??? Extra sweet, Tangy??? Etc. Dry Herbs like: basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano, etc.… Brown sugar, parmesan cheese, honey, mustard, chopped shallots, etc. Finally, all you need now is a Mason Jar with a lid, an electric hand mixer or a whisker to combine the ingredients that you selected. Mix it all well and refrigerate. Done! Enjoy!
