Answer by  platinum (19)

Vinaigrette is simply oil and vinegar and whatever seasoning work for you. Some people will use regular vegatable oil others will opt for a more light oil such as olive oil. White wine vinegar is generally used but to give it more flavor you could use sherry orbalsamic vinegar.For seasonings salt and pepper will work or add extra herbs.

To make a vinaigrette, combine three parts oil to one part acid. Usually, olive oil and red wine or balsamic vinegar are used, but lemon juice or lime juice works as well. A little bit of mustard helps the mixture. Add seasonings (garlic, parsley, basil, salt, etc.) to taste.
