Basic Vinaigrette - 1 Cup

Cuisinart original

This simple vinaigrette is perfect over a salad of mixed greens and fresh vegetables. Substituting 1½ teaspoons of herbes de Provence for the combined basil/thyme/marjoram is an easy way to change it up a bit, and saves on the amount of dried herbs you need to have on hand.
