There was always a jar of this rattling around in the door of Maman's fridge, ready to be shaken awake at a moment's notice. A good salad, she insisted, is really just a good vinaigrette that happens to have found some leaves.

The Chef's Touch Vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be adjusted to your taste. Try different vinegars, such as apple cider or balsamic, or stir in herbs or spices. It can also be made with other oils, such as avocado or walnut oil.
