Ina Garten Green Salad Vinaigrette
This vinaigrette follows a classic French-inspired structure: oil, acid, seasoning, and balance. There’s no sugar and no heaviness—just a smooth, lightly tangy dressing that coats leaves evenly instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. It’s designed to complement fresh greens, not mask them.
