How to Make Five-Ingredient Vinaigrette Dressing
Vinaigrette is a basic salad dressing that is made with oil, vinegar, and seasoning. The typical vinaigrette ratio is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. There are a variety of oils and vinegars that may be used in making a vinaigrette. This particular recipe contains only five ingredients, and it's quick and easy to make. I enjoy serving this dressing with many types of salads.

AUTHORHello Eric,
Me too. I like to lessen the amount of oil in my dressing as I don't like too much grease drizzled on top of my healthy salad. Have a wonderful day!
Great job here. I like tweaking and changing mine around and this looks tasty. I like to increase vinegar and decrease oil and I try some without....
I love my salads!

Hi Mary,
Me too! I love eating salads. Mostly I like thick dressings rather than a vinaigrette. Though I must say that I really enjoyed my vinaigrette with my egg salad.
I love making my own salad dressing and love to experiment with flavours but they always have these basic ingredients you included here.
