Classic Vinaigrette
This is the only homemade vinaigrette recipe you’ll ever need. Yes there are many recipes and variations out there, but if you start with this recipe as a base, you can make hundreds (if not thousands!) of different vinaigrettes.
The ideal ratio for a homemade vinaigrette depends on your preference. If you like things more tangy, try a ratio of 1:2. Do you like things to be balanced, yet bold? Try a 1:1 ratio. It’s all in what you like, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way when it comes to a homemade vinaigrette.
