American Kitchen Classic French Vinaigrette

Submitted by Member 610488

"The classic Vinaigrette is a salad dressing in the French cuisine. Other cuisines that have had interactions with the French also offer vinaigrettes but with local variations. A basic vinaigrette is nothing more than 3 parts oil and 1 part vinegar with a pinch of salt. This recipe expands on the basic recipe and gives you a bit more flavor."
