Notes
- Use a good quality oil and vinegar: Since vinaigrette is made with only a few simple ingredients, it's important to use high-quality oil and vinegar to ensure the best flavor.
- Emulsify the dressing: To ensure that your vinaigrette doesn't separate, it's important to emulsify the ingredients together. This is done by whisking or shaking the ingredients vigorously until they're fully combined.
- Add ingredients slowly: When making vinaigrette, it's important to add the oil to the vinegar slowly while whisking or shaking. This helps to create a smooth and creamy emulsion.
- Taste as you go: It's important to taste your vinaigrette as you're making it to ensure that it has the right balance of flavors. Adjust the seasoning as needed to achieve the desired taste.
