In Italy, the salad dressing often isn't mixed separately from the salad. Here are the basic "no recipe required" directions for making salad dressing with just 4 ingredients that are mixed—separately in 3 steps—directly into the salad. This method is especially convenient if you are making a salad just for yourself and eating it right away.
Ingredients
- Vinegar (red wine vinegar)
- Oil (extra virgin olive oil)
- Salt and pepper
