- In this video, we'll walk you through considerations for making an easy vinaigrette. Once you get a feel for the ratio of vinegar (or any acid) and oil that you like, you really don't even need a salad dressing recipe.
The most essential ingredients for homemade vinaigrette are oil, vinegar or lemon juice and salt. To spice it up, we like grated fresh garlic, Dijon mustard, honey/maple syrup/pomegranate molasses and freshly cracked black pepper. But there are, of course, tons of other variations.
For a balsamic vinaigrette, use balsamic vinegar. Or try apple cider vinegar! Whatever you have.
Whisk everything together or shake it in a jar and taste as you go. If you want it more tangy (we always do), add more acid. If it's too intense for you, add more oil (we use extra virgin olive oil).
For some people, the tips in this video might be old news-snooze fest! But for us, it took a while of tasting and adapting to figure out what we liked in a vinaigrette. Now, we almost never use a recipe and just add and taste, add and taste. Dak prefers fresh lemon juice in vinaigrette, to which Ju said, "Has anyone ever told you that you have a lot of opinions?" (Yes, all the time) Here are a few salad-related opinions:
1. More salt. More than we thought!
2. The flavor should be bold and really concentrated-it's going over a pile of something large and needs to pack a punch.
3. Dry your greens well so that they're not soggy but also so that the oily dressing clings.
4. Shake up a batch in a jar and save it in the fridge to use all week.
5. Start with oil, acid and salt and build flavor from there. Or don't!
