 VARIATIONS
Flavor changes drastically if you use a specialty vinegar. Try to prepare a basic vinaigrette using red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, rice vinegar or herb flavored vinegar.
Add 1 tsp mustard, or 1 tsp tomato paste, or 1 tps anchovy paste. Mix well.
Add 1 tbs capers, or 1 tbs chopped pickled cucumbers.
2 onion slices, chopped.
A dash of hot sauce, like Tabasco.
2 tsp chopped fresh aromatic herbs, like parsley, chives, tarragon, basil, perifollo.
1 tsp dried herbs, like basil or marjoram.
½ tsp crushed garlic.
½ hard boiled egg, yolk crushed and mixed into the dressing, egg white chopped.
Prepare double quantity of basic vinaigrette and add 2 tbs chopped onion, 1 tbs chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbs finely diced green pepper. Try over seafood salad. Flavor improves if kept in the fridge for a couple of hours.
