THE MAGICAL VINAIGRETTE FORMULA from KitchenTreaty
1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil
+ salt and pepper to taste
ADD-INS/SEASONINGS
As in the formula above, aside from oil and vinegar, the only other thing you really need for a super simple vinaigrette is a bit of salt (I like kosher salt or sea salt) and pepper (I prefer freshly ground black pepper).
But it’s fun to do more, if you want! Here are some ideas for deliciously aromatic add-ins:
- Fresh chopped herbs like dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, mint, or thyme (dried herbs work, too)
- Finely minced garlic or fresh ginger
- Shallots, scallions, or onion
- Bold cheeses – finely grated or crumbled – such as Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Gorgonzola, or feta
- Crushed red pepper flakes, a bit of horseradish, or even a bit of Sriracha add a bit of heat
- Dijon mustard adds flavor and acts as an emulsifier – it’s kind of vinaigrette’s “best pal”.
- Sugar or honey helps mellow the vinegar’s acidity, if necessary, plus, honey works as an emulsifier, too.
