Make your own Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette is a fancy name for an Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Vinegar salad dressing. You can add spices or herbs to vary the taste. Some people use different types of vinegar, like rice wine vinegar or apple vinegar, or even add a dash of soy sauce or lemon or lime juice to bring out new flavors. Try experimenting with your own combinations, keeping the amounts of oil and vinegar about the same as in the following recipe. This is a good recipe to make with kids.

Ingredients
* 1/3 cup vinegar
* 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
* 1/8 tsp. salt
* 1 tbsp. water (optional)
Instructions
1. Fill a 2-cup or larger measuring cup to the 1/3-cup mark with vinegar.
2. Add the oil until it reaches the 1-cup mark.
3. Add the salt and stir with a whisk.
4. Dip a lettuce leaf into the dressing and see how it tastes. If it seems too bitter, add a tablespoon or more of water. Makes 1 cup of dressing.
