First off, it’s ridiculously simple.
It’s just four ingredientsolive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

The bright and fresh combination can elevate even the most boring dishes.
It’s like the vinaigrette equivalent of putting on leggings.

Versatility is its middle name.

Unlike manystore-bought dressings, this vinaigrette is made from simple, nourishing ingredients.
A heavier hand of either will drive the dressing in a different direction.
The base is simple, but the possibilities are endless.
So, it’s time to channel your inner Barefoot Contessa and whip up a batch.
As Ina would say: How easy is that?
