Salad dressings & dips
Basic vinaigrette
This is a reliable vinaigrette for dressing any type of salad. Or use a similar amount of extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar to taste; simple but full of peppery flavour. Either way, this is not only for salad dressing: it can also be used to marinade meat and veg, and as a cold dressing for leeks or asparagus. Once made, it'll keep in the fridge for several weeks. Makes about 300ml
