BASIC VINAIGRETTE

3 tbsp vinegar (preferably wine or herb vinegar)
1/3 C olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

optional flavoring:
1/2 tsp mustard or 2 tbsp tomato sauce or 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs

Combine the vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Beat together with a fork to emulsify, that is, to blend the oil and vinegar together into a thickened mixture. Add optional flavoring if desired.

Basic vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and kept chilled. Beat again before serving.

Good for 2.
