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 are someone who finds time a constraint then using a food processor or blender to make a quick dressing for your salad is probably best. First take the vinegar and put it in to the machine, next add some herbs and spices and blend this together. Once they have been blended together you now need to very slowly dribble in the oil whilst the machine is still going until all of the oil has been poured in and the ingredients have been thoroughly mixed 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.

The simplest and easiest way for making a vinaigrette dressing which will mean far less washing up for you is by using a jar (with a screw on lid). Take your jar and into this pour the vinegar and add the herbs or spices (or both) and then replace the lid. Once the lid has been screwed on tight you need to shake the jar vigorously to make sure that all the ingredients have been mixed together. Once this has been done you now need to start slowly adding the oil. It is best if you do this 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, and every time you add some oil replace the lid and then again vigorously shake the jar. Remember to make sure the lid is on tight or else you could end up with vinaigrette everywhere.

In order to make the most basic of vinaigrette dressings for a salad you will need the following ingredients:-

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.
