BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS
Bottled salad dressing can be convenient but its expensive and often full of salt, sugar, and chemical additives. Making your own is simple and allows you to customize the seasonings to suit whatever meal you are preparing. The amounts given make about 1/4 cup and can be expanded infinitely for larger salads. It can be made several days ahead and kept in the fridge. Sorry about the slightly odd way of putting the ingredients for the creamy dressing variations. The recipe editor is picky about what it will accept.

Steps:
- Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
- Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
- Shake again then dress salad as desired.
- Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
- Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
- Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
- Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.

ITALIAN VINAIGRETTE
This is one of my family's favorite vinaigrettes. It's fresh and flavorful with an extra dose of garlic, plus red wine vinegar and lemon juice acidity. It reminds me a bit of the dressing at Olive Garden...although I'd say this Italian vinaigrette recipe is even better!

MY VINAIGRETTE DRESSING (ITALIAN STYLE)
From Dom DeLuise. This is good on salads or as a marinade. For a creamy dressing, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream. You can use 1/4 teaspoon dried basil instead of the fresh. This is a very tart dressing, so feel free to adjust the proportions of oil and vinegar.

Tips:
- Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will have a big impact on the taste of your vinaigrette. Look for an oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Use a variety of vinegars: You can use any type of vinegar you like in your vinaigrette, but some common choices include balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and white wine vinegar. Experiment with different vinegars to find one that you like.
- Add other ingredients to taste: Once you have the basic ingredients of your vinaigrette down, you can add other ingredients to taste. Some common additions include herbs (such as basil, oregano, or thyme), spices (such as garlic powder or onion powder), and citrus zest (such as lemon or orange zest).
- Let your vinaigrette sit for a while before using it: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, let your vinaigrette sit for at least 30 minutes before using it.
- Use your vinaigrette on salads, grilled vegetables, or even as a marinade for chicken or fish.
Conclusion:
A vinaigrette dressing is a simple and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few basic ingredients and a little experimentation, you can create a vinaigrette that is perfect for any occasion.
