Notes
This recipe for a simple vinaigrette is a basic recipe that is a good one to keep. Simply combine olive oil and vinegar, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Taste the vinaigrette as you make it and add extra salt or pepper if necessary. The standard ratio for vinaigrettes is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, so if you don't want to make a full cup as this recipe suggests, use this ratio as your guide.
