About Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette is a dressing based on oil and vinegar, mixed or emulsified together. It may be seasoned with ingredients such as salt, pepper, mustard, herbs or other flavourings, but recipes vary and the term does not specify a single ratio or ingredient list. Some versions remain temporarily emulsified, while others separate and are shaken before use.

It is commonly used as a salad dressing or seasoning for other foods. Its appearance ranges from a clear, separated mixture to a cloudy or thicker emulsion; flavour depends on the oil, vinegar and additions. Homemade and bottled vinaigrettes can differ considerably, and a creamy or sweetened version should not be assumed to match a basic oil-and-vinegar dressing.
