SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

PERFECT VINAIGRETTE BASE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe measuring cup.
• Microwave until warm, 30-45 seconds.
• Stir to dissolve salt.
• Pour liquid into glass jar, discarding garlic solids, and refrigerate.
• To Make a Salad: In salad bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Perfect Vinaigrette Base, 1 tablespoon water, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
• Add 6 cups torn salad greens (and a small chopped tomato, if desired).
• Toss together and taste.
• Now, here's the big secret: If dressing seems too strong, add another 1-2 tablespoons water (mild greens will need the extra water).
• And another hint -- use a mild olive oil with mild greens, and a more assertive olive oil with robust greens.
