Basic Vinaigrette Recipe

By Hester

This simple oil & vinegar salad dressing, which is also called a basic vinaigrette or basic French dressing, can be mixed up in a flash. It uses the standard 3:1 vinaigrette ratio, meaning 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup salad oil (see note)
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• Kosher salt and ground white pepper (or freshly ground black pepper), to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix for about 10 seconds or until fully combined.

Transfer to a glass bowl and let stand for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Give the dressing a good whisk immediately before serving.
