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.

Basic Vinaigrette Dressing With 8 Variations image

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.

SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE

We followed the standard 3-to-1 oil-to-vinegar ratio for this super simple vinaigrette. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, and toss a few tablespoons with fresh greens for a quick weeknight salad. But remember that vinaigrette isn't just for salad: You can also use it as a quick sauce for fish or grilled chicken.

Steps:

  • Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined. Slowly drizzle in the oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified and smooth. (If you're using a vinegar high in acid, you might need to add a little more oil to taste.) Refrigerate any leftovers.

1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup vegetable oil)

MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

A generous spoonful of Dijon mustard makes this vinaigrette creamy and tart. Use the dressing with sturdy salad greens like romaine or with softer lettuces like Bibb lettuce or oak leaf. The dressing is too strong to work with baby salad greens or mesclun. It's also great with cooked vegetables like beets or broccoli and with grain salads.

BASIC VINAIGRETTE

It's hard to imagine five minutes better spent in the kitchen than those making vinaigrette, the closest thing there is to an all-purpose sauce. At its most basic, vinaigrette is acid and oil, salt and pepper, with additional flavors as desired. This standard vinaigrette begins, not surprisingly, with extra-virgin olive oil. To vary the flavor, you could use walnut or hazelnut oil or, if you want to play down the flavor of oil, a neutral oil like grapeseed or canola. It continues with good wine vinegar, which could take you from champagne vinegar to an extra-mild Asian rice vinegar. (Balsamic and sherry vinegars are too dominant for many uses.) Lemon juice is a fine substitute, but because it is less acidic than most vinegars, you will need more of it.

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except shallot in a blender and turn on machine; a creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste and add vinegar a teaspoon or two at a time until balance tastes right to you.
  • Add shallot, if using, and turn machine on and off a few times until shallot is minced within dressing. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. (This will keep, refrigerated, for a few days.)
