A vinaigrette is essential for a quick salad and highlights the delicious, crisp flavors of the vegetables and fruit. These are also ingredients that can be stored in the pantry to bring out anytime. ... White wine vinegar is the classic vinegar to use, but you can substitute apple cider vinegar if you prefer it. Include the sweetener or prepare without, your choice. If you do add sugar, use just a pinch to take the edge off the dressing. It shouldn’t be sweet.
In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar if using, until the salt has dissolved.
Gradually beat in the olive oil until well blended. Taste for sharpness. If the dressing is too sharp, beat in some water, a little at a time, until the dressing is to your taste.
