Stir well with a fork.Add olive oil, cover tightly, and shake well until combined. You can also use a blender and drizzle the oil in slowly while it is running. Serve over your basic green salad with added chopped vegetables. NUTRITIONAL INFO
Good in vit E, magnesium, selenium, etc. The most basic way to make a salad taste really, really good is to toss it lightly with good olive oil, then squeeze a little lemon or drizzle some balsamic vinegar over it. Toss with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper, which are often all too neglected in salads, and you have yourself a delicious side salad.
When making a vinaigrette, a combination of oil and vinegar or lemon juice, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Keep the oil to vinegar ratio at about 3:1
If you want a smooth consistency in which the oil and vinegar do not separate you must use an emulsifier. Dijon mustard and egg yolks from pastured chickens are my favorite options.
Add lots of flavors like onion, garlic, spices, herbs, and honey.
For simplicity use pint-sized jars for easy dump, shake, and serve salad dressing.
With the above thoughts in mind you can create flavorful salads in a myriad of flavors.

Homemade chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Many people use Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce for a variety of recipes, especially during the winter months. But did you know that chipotles start from the same jalapenos that you find in your garden? Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried jalapenos – more specifically red jalapenos. As those green jalapenos ripen, they will turn a bright red color. This is the perfect time to pick them and fire up your smoker.
