Notes

Alternatively, crush the garlic the back of a spoon in a small bowl and place the crushed garlic, salt, pepper and vinegar in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until salt is dissolved. Then add oil, screw lid and shake again until well blended.

The original recipe will yield enough dressing for 4-6 portions.

A basic vinaigrette lends itself to multiple variations.
