- ½ cup white wine vinegar
- 1½ tsp Kosher salt

Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix for about 10 seconds or until fully combined. Serve right away, as the oil and vinegar will begin to separate as soon as you stop mixing.Makes 1 pint of dressing.
NOTE: Any oil labeled "vegetable oil" or "salad oil" is fine for this basic recipe. You can also use any light, neutral-flavored oil like safflower, canola or soybean oil.
