One of the easiest things I learned to make at culinary school was vinaigrette. It is a relatively easy ratio to remember – 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar (remember those Good Seasons® bottles?). You can add some salt and pepper, and perhaps some herbs (fresh or dried – your choice). By making your own you can save so much money. You can take a basic recipe, switch out ingredients for other light flavored oils and more pungent vinegar, and not have the same vinaigrette for a long time. Besides being less expensive, there are also fewer ingredients than typically found in the pre-bottled stuff at the store.
