This is the easiest of all salad dressings. White wine vinegar is the classic vinegar to use, but you can substitute apple cider vinegar if you prefer it. If you do add sugar, use... just a pinch to take the edge off the dressing. It shouldn’t be sweet.
In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar if using, until the salt has dissolved.
Gradually beat in the olive oil until well blended. Taste for sharpness. If the dressing is too sharp, beat in some water, a little at a time, until the dressing is to your taste.
Chef Tips
Adding water to dressings is a way to cut down on the oil and make the dressing lighter. If you want your dressing heavier, add an extra tablespoon of oil instead of the water.
This makes ½ cup of dressing, which yields 4 servings (each serving being 2 tablespoons).
