    How to Make Classic Vinaigrette for Five Moods

    1. Create the Base

    Start by pouring 3/4 cup of your chosen oil and 1/4 cup of vinegar or lime juice into a sturdy jar. Add a scant teaspoon of salt. This is where the magic begins: securing the lid tightly, give the jar a vigorous shake. This action creates an emulsion, blending the oil and vinegar into a harmonious mixture. You'll know it's ready when the liquid appears unified, with no layers of oil and vinegar separating.

    2. Adjust the Seasoning

    Once your vinaigrette base is well-blended, take a moment to taste it. This is a crucial step because it allows you to adjust the seasoning to your preference. If you feel it needs a little more punch, add a pinch of salt, reseal the jar, and give it another shake.

    3. Store and Serve

    When you're satisfied with the flavor, store the jar in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it. Remember to shake it again before serving, as the ingredients may settle over time.
