Recipe: Simple Virgin Salad Dressing (smooth or broken vinaigrette)

Salads - Salad Dressings
SIMPLE VIRGIN SALAD DRESSING

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic or other good-quality wine vinegar
About 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs (or 2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed)

FOR A SMOOTH VINAIGRETTE:
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. If using the herbs, stir into the vinaigrette.

The dressing can be used immediately. If using the garlic, put the cloves into the vinaigrette and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. Remove and discard garlic before serving.

VARIATION:

FOR A "BROKEN" VINAIGRETTE:
Instead of whisking, stir the ingredients together gently just before pouring over salad greens so that droplets of vinegar are suspended in the oil.

Makes about 1/4 cup
