Vinaigrette 

Vinaigrette is probably the quickest salad dressing you can whip up. And the one your make will be at least as good as any store bought brand. This took me maybe two minutes start to finish.

That's pretty simple. I also put some fresh ground pepper in (not pictured).

I used the Ruhlmanian ratio of three parts (by weight) oil to 1 part vinegar. 

By volume you'll use a lot less vinegar, being water based it is much more dense than the oil. Add a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of fresh pepper.

Beat for 30 second to a minute with a wisk, and it will be nice and even.

Toss the salad with the vinaigrette, then plate and top with croutons.

This has a remarkably clean and simple taste that really pops. Feel free to play around with different oils and vinegars, including balsamic vinegars.

Ingredients:

60 grams olive oil

20 grams red wine vinegar 

a pinch of salt

a couple of grinds of fresh pepper

Procedure:

1. Combine in a bowl

2. Mix 

3. There is no step 3.
