Yes, bottled vinaigrettes are convenient, but they are often full of salt, sugar, and other additives. Making your own vinaigrette is both simple and delicious. I use this recipe all the time. You can use any type of oil that you like (walnut oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, etc.) I prefer a light olive oil. One word of caution, be careful of using oils with very strong, intense flavors, like some extra-virgin olive oils. You might like the flavor on their own, but they can overwhelm the delicate flavors in a salad. Try it with Witlof, Blue Cheese & Pear Salad.
