We love the bright pop of this vinaigrette; for a sweeter version, use balsamic, cider, or rice vinegar.

Just what the recipes says it is - a simple, quick, and tasty salad dressing. There are certainly better dressings out there, but when you need something to simply dress some greens for a weeknight supper, this is a great recipe to have around.

I have been looking for a very simple go to vinaigrette and this fits perfectly! We like onion flavors and chose to add a small amount of minced shallot which helped step this up just a bit.
