How to Mix Your Own Vinegar & Oil
A basic vinaigrette enhances your favorite salad or sandwich. Mixing your own allows you to experiment with different vinegars and oils, and customize the taste to suit your preferences. Adjust the basic vinaigrette ratio -- three parts oil to one part vinegar -- to change the richness or tartness of your finished product. Feel free to add other flavor enhancers, such as salt, pepper, honey or mustard.
