Oil and vinegar do not mix, which is to say, they are not mutually soluble. When you put the two of these together in one container, you get two separate layers; the vinegar on the bottom and the oil floating on top. So if you would like to have a mixture of oil and vinegar on your salad, you have to shake the bottle first.

Because one is water based and one is oil based so they don't form a combined solution. You have to shake them to form an emulsion of small droplets of oil susoended in the vinegar. If you didn't shake them they would remain as two separate liquids.

Why is it necessary to shake oil and vinegar salad dressing before adding it to salad?

Oil and vinegar dressing is a temporary emulsion. When the dressing sits for a while the oil and vinegar separate from each other. If you were to put this on the salad it would taste pretty disgusting because it would be entirely oil. So to avoid this, you shake the dressing and then add it to the salad so that the oil and vinegar is combined and it creates a good flavour.
