Classic Salad Dressing
This classic and easy recipe is a must have for anyone making good food at home. I make this dressing at least once a week. The key to this recipe is quality ingredients, so don't use the cheap stuff!

Mmm I just learned the dijon mustard trick the other day and I love it! Have never added garlic though I can't wait to try it.
I will have to try this. I love balsamic but never have tried with the dijon. Great idea!
Thanks everyone! This is a super easy dressing to make and it's so delicious!
I make a balsamic vinaigrette about once a week, using these same ingredients, but I have never used equal parts oil and vinegar and I'm a little puzzled by it. Mine is about 3 parts olive oil to 1 part balsamic and it's very tart and flavorful. You must use a very small amount of this to dress your salad?
Hi slbbw,
I tend to like my vinaigrette's on the tart side and find that 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar is just too oily for my palette.
Also, I like my salads lightly dressed, so yes, I only use small amounts. Thanks for the comment!
I just made this and wanted to let you know it rocked! thanks for the recipe!
