Ingredients
6 tablespoons Vegetable oil (olive, canola, avocado, or cooking oil of choice)
4 tablespoons Vinegar (cider, balsamic, or red wine vinegar)
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
¼ teaspoon Mustard (yellow, Dijon, or brown mustard)
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the dressing.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and mustard.
Whisk vigorously or shake in a covered jar until the ingredients are well combined and emulsified.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Use immediately on your favorite salad or vegetables, or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte grocery chain and costs under a dollar total; the real time is 5 minutes, no hidden prep. It yields five servings of dressing for pennies per serving and will keep in the fridge for weeks, making it ideal for a busy household. The only reason this isn't a 5.0 is that vinaigrette lacks the heartiness for a full meal and requires a protein or grain side to feed anyone properly.
