All-Purpose Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
No bottled salad dressing can ever match the tangy flavor of home-prepared vinaigrette dressing, and nothing could be easier to make. Some people claim oil-and-vinegar dressings must be made on the spot, fresh for each new salad. I am all in favor of making cooking easy on yourself and see nothing wrong with preparing a dressing beforehand. Look for a variety of greens-chicory, Boston lettuce, watercress- to make an attractive salad.
Ingredients:

3/4 cup COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon water
