This is almost too simple to be a recipe. Be adventurous when making vinaigrettes and [[Salad dressings|salad dressings]].

Keep the ratio of [[Oil|oil]] to acid ([[Vinegar|vinegar]] / [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]]) to Jamie Oliver's magic formula, 3:1. 3 measures of oil to 1 of acid.

Taste and make final adjustments with [[Salt|salt]] and/or [[Sugar|sugar]].
