Some Ways To Make A Salad Vinaigrette Dressing
Kerris Samson
For someone who likes to eat salads on a regular basis you may find that without some kind of dressing they can taste a little boring. However, rather than resorting to using ready made ones from your local grocery store or delicatessen you could actually have a go at making your own salad vinaigrette dressing. In this article we show you some very simple ways of being able to make such a dressing along with a very basic recipe that you may want to consider trying.
In order for you to make a very basic vinaigrette dressing for a salad you can use a whisk, jar, blender or food processor to mix all of the ingredients together. Often the most simple of dressings for a salad will consist of 1 part vinegar, 2 parts oil and some herbs and spices.
If you want to make a very quick vinaigrette to go with a salad then the best way to do this is by using a blender or food processor. Once you have the ingredients together, first pour the vinegar (1 part) into the machine and then to this add spices and herbs to taste and blend together well. Next whilst the machine is still running you begin to slowly pour in the oil (2 parts) until it has all gone and the mixture has been combined together.
However if you have a little more time on your hands then you could whisk up the ingredients together instead. In to a bowl place the vinegar along with spices and herbs and then very gently whisk these together. Once you feel that these have been well mixed together you should now start to include the oil again as with making the vinaigrette using a blender or processor you should pour the oil in very slowly. Whilst pouring in the oil you also need to continue whisking the ingredients together. It is probably better using an electric whisk rather than trying to make it using a hand one.
However probably the easiest way you can make a very basic vinaigrette to dress your salad with is through using a jar (clean one of course). Into the jar (which should have a screw on lid) put the vinegar with the herbs or spices. Then screw on the lid and then shake the jar vigorously until everything has been mixed together. Now next you need to start adding the oil. Do this a couple of tablespoons at the time and each time you do this replace the lid and then shake the jar vigorously and do this until all the oil has been added and the ingredients have been combined together.
For you to make a very basic vinaigrette dressing for a salad next time you are having one you will need to get the following ingredients together.
1. Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2. Cup Balsamic Vinegar 3. 3 Cloves of Garlic which have been pressed not cut or crushed 4. 1 Teaspoon of Oregano (fresh is better but dried will do at a pinch) 5. Teaspoon of Rosemary (fresh is best because you need to crush it before adding to the vinegar. However if fresh rosemary is not available then dried will suffice).
Now you have the above ingredients together you just need to combine them and this can easily be done using one of the methods that we have mentioned previously in this article. You will find that it will only take around 5 minutes to produce a great tasting salad vinaigrette dressing that will provide your meal with a little bit more. Also as long as any you have left over is kept in a jar in the refrigerator it can be used again for a further two weeks.
