I've had a few conversations in the shop about dressing for salad, especially vinagrettes and the store bought options.
They're either lacking in flavor, too salty, or never seem to taste the same when buying them.
Trust good ingredients and make them yourself! Only and always use GOOD olive oil, you can use red wine, white wine, champagne, balsamic, and a number of flavored varieties of vinegar. 3 to 1 oil to vinegar, though I tend to add more vinegar depending on the salad. Taste as you make these with some good bread. There are a lot of options!
The pics show: Italian olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dijon, my Tuscan seasoning, fresh grated aged provolone cheese, fresh grated Parmagiano and a pinch extra sea salt
For me it's adding the cheese! You won't be sorry!
