All-Purpose Vinaigrette Serves 4 | Staff Favorite, Gluten Free
Follow these steps for foolproof dressing every time; once you’re comfortable with the basic approach, modify it using ingredients you have on hand. Serve over any kind of mixed greens.
3-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or flaxseed oil
2 tablespoons balsamic, champagne, or other vinegar, or citrus juice
½-1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or honey, or both
Minced fresh herbs or other flavorings (optional)
1. Oil is the foundation of a great dressing. Choose one with a fresh, pleasant fragrance. Pour in a jar with a secure lid. 2. To two parts oil, add about one part acidic liquid, such as vinegar or citrus juice. A good vinegar will never let you down; experiment with balsamic, raw apple cider, champagne, umeboshi, fruit-flavored, tarragon, or sherry vinegars. 3. If you like, add an emulsifier, such as a dollop of mustard or honey. Optional: Add herbs, ginger, garlic, or other seasonings, plus a generous pinch of sea salt and a little pepper. 4. Shake or whisk until blended; taste and adjust sweetness or tartness. Refrigerate. Dressing elements may separate over time; just shake again before serving. On salads, start with less dressing than you think you’ll need (you can always add more) before tossing gently.
