Basic Vinaigrette

Makes 1 cup

Salad dressing is simple to prepare, and much healthier for you than what you could
purchase at the store. This, as the name suggests, is a basic version. Champagne vinegar
is softer in flavor than other vinegars, but you can substitute with white
or red wine vinegar if you prefer.
