Vinegrettes aren’t hard, but you need some basic ingredients and a little imagination to get started. This post lists a few of my mainstays for salads.
Ingredients
- Oil
- Vinegar
- Sugar
- Herbs and spices
- Dash of salt
Directions
I have a little 2 cup tupperware shaker that I use. For two to four servings, add 1/4 cup of oil, 2 tbs of vinegar, a tsp or two of sugar, and some herbs and spices. Shake well. You’re done.

Notes
I often use a package of sweet and low for the sweetner. Also, I never keep any leftovers since I make so little at one time.
Nutrition
The oil is high in fat and calories. Use it sparingly.
