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.

Tips for Making the Best Cider Vinaigrette:
- Use good quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dressing will be. Use a good quality olive oil and apple cider vinegar. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
- Emulsify the dressing. This means whisking the ingredients together until they are well combined and creamy. You can also use a blender or food processor to emulsify the dressing.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or honey to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
- Let the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Store the dressing in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Cider vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious dressing, give cider vinaigrette a try!
