How To: Simple Salad Dressing

By L. Stolpman in Food on Nov 23, 2009 5:00PM

$Here are our simple ingredients: White Balsamic Pear Infused Vinegar (we picked up this bottle at Whole foods for about $4 or $5 bucks), Trader Joe\'s 21 Seasoning Salute, Salt, Ground Mustard, and in the dark glass bottle, we have some olive oil.$

A couple of twists on the salt grinder, and two shakes of the seasoning salute along with 1 or 2 dashes of mustard.

Closer up. We then put enough vinegar in the bowl to cover the ingredients (about an ounce). Then, add enough oil to fit your tastes. The standard ratio is about 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.

$Whisk and you\'re ready to go. Simple and better tasting.$

We prefer to make our salad dressing at home. It's easy, it tastes better than many store bought options, and we know exactly what's in it. Here's one of our favorites. Instructions are in the captions.
