A good vinaigrette dressing is a thing of beauty. Easy, fast, and makes anything taste good. Use it on meats, salads, or vegetables, and adapt with whatever you have on hand.
Here’s first a basic vinaigrette followed by lots of with easy variations. I use these all year round on simple steamed veggies or grilled meats. I don’t need other recipes – just add a splash of one of these flavors and you have a new dish to enjoy.
EASY VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
VINAIGRETTE INGREDIENTS
