What is salad dressing?

A dressed salad is one that has been combined with a salad dressing.

Most salad dressing is a liquid mixture of fat, usually oil, and acid, usually vinegar. Some common deviations from oil and vinegar can be found in the warm bacon dressing, used to dress a spinach salad. In this dressing, bacon fat replaces the oil. In many dressings, lemon juice stands in for vinegar. Mayonnaise is also a common base of fat for "creamy" dressings.

It is not uncommon to add an emulsifier to help keep a dressing from separating. These include egg yolk and prepared mustard.

Recipe for Basic Vinaigrette

Whisk together 1/4 cup fine red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Vinaigrette can be used on lettuce-based salads and on cooked vegetable salad.

The best way to dress a salad is to gently toss the lettuce or vegetables in a little dressing, tasting as you go, adding a little more dressing until the salad is evenly coated with a thin layer of dressing. Dressing should not "pool" in the bowl--this indicates that you have used too much.
