Salad Dressing: Basic French Vinaigrette

Switch over from your Xanthan-gum or Caregeenan-laden bottled salad dressing, and make it fresh and clean with organic ingredients instead. I stopped doing store-bought salad dressings because it just can’t compare with this basic French vinaigrette that I use for pretty much any salads. It works both for warm and cold salads, and is my go-to any day of the week.
