Basic Vinaigrette

Looking for a good basic vinaigrette? We tell you everything you need to know about how to make the best homemade salad dressing in this post.

When you want a quick and simple vinaigrette, this is it. Lemon and olive oil are brought together with a touch of honey as a sweet emulsifier. Shallot for some bitterness, and salt and pepper to taste. After a while, you can just eyeball the proportions, but until it feels like second nature, don’t be shy about measuring out your ratios: 3 parts oil to one part lemon.

Out of lemon or want to try something different? Experiment with various kinds of vinegar – balsamic, red wine, rice wine, and apple cider vinegars all make lovely vinaigrettes as well.

Add in some dijon mustard for a great dressing for this Nicoise salad. With a few additions, it magically becomes the dressing for this Greek Salad too!
