MARTHA'S FAVORITE VINAIGRETTE
This easy vinaigrette is made with a handful of pantry-friendly ingredients and comes together with just a few shakes of a mason jar! The possibilities using this versatile dressing go way beyond the salad bowl; it's also great for drizzling over dishes like rice pilaf, steamed green beans, and even mains like baked chicken or fish.

Tips
- The original recipe uses light olive oil, lemon juice, three parts of mayonnaise to one part Dijon mustard, sugar and salt.
- Adding two parts mayonnaise instead of three or using Greek yogurt to lighten it up a bit are good variations on the original recipe.
- Feel free to play around with the ingredients and proportions until you find a combination that you and your family like best.
- A splash of white wine or a twist of lemon can add a bit of brightness and acidity.
- Fresh herbs such as dill, chives, tarragon, or parsley can be added for extra flavor.
- A sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste is always a good idea.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use.
