Vinaigrette is a basic salad dressing that is made with oil, vinegar, and seasoning. The typical vinaigrette ratio is three parts oil to one 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.

Replace regular oil with olive oil to create a healthier version.
Regular oil may solidify if stored inside the refrigerator. In order to prevent this from happening, use olive oil, canola oil or corn oil.
Adjust the amount if you opt to use other types of vinegar.
Choose any type of vinegar you prefer.
Combine all ingredients in a jar. Close the lid and shake until everything is well mixed.
