True for dressings in general.
A simple vinaigrette with great olive oil, great vinegar, some crushed garlic and a bit of salt is better than the best possible bottled dressing.
- tptacek 1y agoI was last-week weeks old when I learned the cool America's Test Kitchen trick for vinaigrettes, which is to make them with a combination of extra virgin and neutral oil so they don't set up (and thus break) in the the fridge. Also: a good reason to get a 3-pack of cheap Oxo squeeze bottles; shake to re-emulsify. Vinaigrette is one of the most useful condiments there is.
- brookst 1y agoThey’re so easy and quick I just make fresh for each use, with only EVOO. Takes 30 seconds and one tiny bowl. Also a touch of mustard acts as an emulsifier, and is tasty too (and going gourmet in the mustard is worth it, like Pommery).
