Description
The alphabet of French cuisine and the 'mother sauce' for many similar dressings: for the acidic component, you can use balsamic vinegar or orange juice, and swap olive oil for sunflower or mustard oil. Adding finely chopped shallots gives a sharp, vibrant note. The basic formula is simple: 1 part acid to 3 parts oil; as long as you know this, you won't need a vinaigrette recipe. It pairs well with everything—from light green salad stacks to hearty compositions that include meat or fish, like a Niçoise salad. Just follow your taste: for example, if there’s slightly bitter arugula involved, you won’t need onions, but if tomatoes are the star, then you should reduce the acidity a bit.
