Have you been able to master the art of making a perfect vinaigrette dressing that tastes the same each time? If you are having problems, then there is one golden rule to remember for creating the perfect base - 3:1 –three parts extra virgin olive oil and one part vinegar. Once you’ve got the hang of this, you can add any combination of herbs, spices and seasoning to suit each dish – the dressing will then be ideal for drizzling over soups, roasted or steamed vegetables, for using as a dip with breads or raw vegetables or simply as a dressing for salads. Here's a lovely salad recipe - perfect for summer.
