  • This has been my go-to vinaigrette ever since it was published. It's awesome on simple green salads.

  • Just finishing my first jar - have loved it. I like more vinegar in mine (tend towards 1.5:1 oil to vinegar. And shallots were in mine, and taking it out of the fridge when cooking starts helps w the clumping. I’m also a fan of predressing it by putting it an a large bowl then adding and mixing the greens by hand (w gloves).

  • Édit : no need to store in fridge (it’s mostly oil). If you do, take out early enough for it to warm up.

  • All salad dressings are fair game and I like to play creative - but let me be my French self for this : a classic vinaigrette requires... - black pepper - no honey! - optional shallots (« vinaigrette à l’échalote ») - the secret twist : always add the oil last before final shaking. The vinegar must first welcome the salt, pepper and mustard to dissolve them well. Even more important if there are shallots (need to soak in the flavors). There. I feel comforted in my Frenchness having corrected everyone :-D And thanks to America for the perfect vinaigrette shaker/storer/pourer (by OXO, in my opinion). Massive contribution.

  • good basics, but needs an allium (gahlic, shallot, green onion, etc...)

  • to the commenter about the dressing clumping up in the fridge, Olive oil does not do well when refrigerated. (someone smarter than me needs to provide the reason or science behind that) try letting the vinaigrettes sit out for enough time to get it to room temp. I think it will help to re emulsify the dressing.

  • I liked this dressing and was quick to make. The only problem I had was it clumped after a few days in the fridge. Tried mixing it again, but it wouldn't mix...what did I do wrong?
