What is "vinaigrette"?
Vinaigrette is a classic dressing made from a mixture of oil, vinegar, and seasonings, typically whisked together until emulsified. It is known for its tangy and flavorful profile, with variations that can include ingredients such as mustard, garlic, herbs, and shallots. Vinaigrette is versatile and can be used as a dressing for salads, drizzled over grilled vegetables, or used as a marinade for meats and seafood. Its balanced acidity and richness from the oil add brightness and depth to dishes, enhancing their overall flavor.
