Plain Salad Dressing
Plain salad dressing is admissible with nearly all salads. It is composed of oil, vinegar, pepper, and salt, and nothing else. Many who do not care particularly for oil, use equal quantities of oil and vinegar, others one-third vinegar to two-thirds oil; these proportions satisfy a large class, but four parts of oil to one of vinegar are about the right proportions, provided the vinegar is of the best.
Ingredients
- 1 saltspoonful of salt
- 1/4 saltspoonful of freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoonfuls of oil
- 1 tablespoonful of sharp vinegar
Instructions
The plain dressing is made in two ways, either mixed in a bowl and the salad added to it, or as follows: Take a tablespoon and put in it (holding it over the salad) salt, pepper, and a tablespoonful of oil; mix and add to the salad. Add three more tablespoonfuls of oil; toss the salad lightly for a few seconds; lastly, add vinegar; toss the salad again, and serve.
