Tony’s tips:

  • Always taste your food before serving to adjust the seasoning if necessary. In this case, taste the vinaigrette after making it, and then taste the salad after tossing; add salt and pepper as desired.
  • Vinaigrette can be refrigerated for at least one week.
  • Use a squirt bottle or mason jar to store vinaigrette. Shake well before each use.
