You can start a basic vinegrette with Olive Oil %26amp; vinegar.
I would use red wine vinegar for a formal affair though. you can add other ingredients once you know you want to go with a vinegrette and have found the level you like ( taste).
You pour some vinegar in a cup ( do not put a lot maybe 1/4 cup).
Next you drizzle slowly the oil as you beat it by hand with a spoon, fork, or anything Every so often you stop and taste a small amount to ensure it is to your liking, if not continue to drizzle a little more as you continue to incorporate it wth the vinegar.Whats a good recipe for low fat healthy salad dressing that i can make at home?
These are some fantastic ideas that keep me going .Besides drizzled over my salad, I use them over my grilled fish or chicken to add some flavour and save my 'diet food' from being boring.Make up a variety and use as needed.Enjoy!

1/2 cup lemon juice

This one is sour,probably an acquired taste and perfect with a salad that has lot's of tomatos.It is perfect to serve with the Middle Eastern salad,'Fattoush'.
