This is my everyday salad dressing "formula". This recipe makes just over 1/4 cup of dressing as is enough to dress a large leafy salad for 4 people - you just want the lettuce to be lightly coated, not drowning. The trick is to make this in a jar so you can shake it really well, which will make the oil and vinegar emulsify, meaning they mix together and thicken so they will coat your salad nicely.
