FRENCH DRESSING
A combination of oil and vinegar or lemon juice, seasoned with salt and pepper. The correct proportion for French dressing is three parts oil to one part vinegar or lemon juice. but many people find this gives too oily a dressing and prefer to use less oil.

- 1½ teaspoons vinegar
- 1 cup oil
