Why don't oil and vinegar mix?

Oil is a lipid and lipids are hydrophobic (meaning they do not like water). Oil will "clump" together because it is trying not to mix with water. This is why you need an emulsifier like mustard to coat the oil so that it will mix with the vinegar. Once the oil is coated with mustard the oil droplet becomes less hydrophobic because the mustard surrounding it is hydrophillic (meaning it likes water).
