Most salads don’t fail because of the vegetables — they fail because of the dressing. A bad vinaigrette can make even the freshest ingredients taste flat, while a great one can turn a simple bowl into something that tastes restaurant-level. The good news? You don’t need dozens of recipes. Once you master one classic vinaigrette ratio, you can turn it into seven easy variations — from bright lemon-herb to honey balsamic and bold Dijon — all using ingredients you already have.

Instructions
In a bowl or jar, mix vinegar, Dijon, salt, pepper, and optional sweetener/garlic until the salt dissolves.
Whisk while slowly drizzling in oil (or shake vigorously in a sealed jar).
Optional: whisk in water for a lighter dressing.
Rest 5 minutes, taste on lettuce, then adjust oil/salt/acid as needed.
