Frequently Asked Questions About Vinegar dressing

What is Vinegar dressing?
Vinegar dressing is a pourable salad sauce made by combining vinegar with oil, salt and seasonings. The balance varies: some versions are sharply tangy, while others taste rounder and milder from the oil. A quick shake or whisk helps bring the ingredients together before serving, though they may separate again as they stand.
It is commonly spooned over leafy salads, sliced vegetables and grain salads, or served alongside vegetables as part of a meal. In Turkey, a simple vinegar dressing can also bring a bright, tart note to shepherd’s salad and seasonal greens. It is mostly fat from the oil, with very little protein or carbohydrate; 100 grams contains 18 grams of fat. For a lighter dressing, use less oil and add vinegar to taste, then dress the salad sparingly.
