Some things just don’t need to be complicated. Oil and vinegar salad dressing is one of them. Six ingredients, one bowl, three minutes and you have a dressing so good it makes bottled alternatives feel like a genuine waste of money and shelf space. What Makes Oil and Vinegar Dressing So Enduringly Good Oil and…
Most store-bought dressings are basically just oil, sugar, and a long list of ingredients you can’t pronounce.
