Homemade vinaigrette and marinades are absolutely the best. Once you start making and using them, you will never go bak to store bought. This recipe is very versatile; I love using it as a marinade for fish and chicken. Whenever I use it as a salad dressing I just pop in some sugar (but not absolutely necessary). I hope you will try this versatile recipe and enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
