Notes

Use the best ingredients. Dressings are where high-quality ingredients shine! Opt for a good quality white balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil to ensure the best flavor.
Balance your flavors. The right proportions matter in a simple dressing that's meant to enhance what you're pairing it with, not overpower it.
Be sure to emulsify. Emulsification is the process of mixing two ingredients that don't mix well. It's important to constantly be whisking while combining oil and vinegar. You can also use an immersion blender instead of a whisk.
Use fresh herbs, if you have them. Herbs add freshness to any recipe but use sparingly. For most dressings, a little goes a long way, again we want to enhance not overpower!
Store any leftover vinaigrette in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to a week. Shake well before each use as the oil and vinegar may separate.
