Notes
Adjust the amount of vinegar - for more tang, increase vinegar and reduce olive oil, for less tang, reduce vinegar and increase olive oil.
Don't dress your salad with vinaigrette until just before serving. If you add it too far ahead of time it can cause the greens to wilt and go soggy.
While it's refrigerated, oil and vinegar in homemade vinaigrette recipes will separate into two layers. Shake it up well before adding to a salad.
