Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together your choice of acid, binder (optional), herbs, and other flavors, including salt and pepper.
Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the oil until emulsification forms. If you did not use a binder, you will need to re-whisk the vinaigrette prior to serving.
Vinaigrettes can also be made in a blender (for a larger portion) or a lidded jar (shake well).
