Zest 1 lemon, squeeze the lemon. Put the zest into the juice, add 5 or 6 anchovies and roughly mix the juice and anchovies with a fork.

Thats all.

I like Ina Garten's basic oil and vinegar salad dressing recipe. I don't have the recipe any more, I just make it. I like lemon juice in dressing if I have some handy. Otherwise a good vinegar.

Williams-Sonoma has the best balsamic vinegar I can think of. It is expensive and is the one they've had a long time. It is almost like syrup and it tart and sweet and wonderful! It makes fabulous dressing--just a touch of it goes a long way with a lot of things and on meats and veggies. I could almost drink that stuff. It isn't as sharp as the ones you get in the stores and has almost a molasses edge to it.

Is it a House Brand? I'm trying to figure out which one it would be.

My basic vinaigrette is 3:1 EVOO:vinegar. Light amount of salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste.

To that I might add dry mustard, lemon zest, minced shallot or garlic, Penzeys' bouquet garni, minced fresh herbs from my garden, or even a pinch of sugar. Just depends on what I'm using it for. I might use balsalmic or apple cider or rice or red wine or white vinegar. I might use Meyer lemon- or garlic- or basil-infused olive oils.

I use either the stick blender or salad mixer/emulsifier bottle to blend the ingredients, depending usually on the amount I'm making. Works for me.

I used this recipe using 3 vinegar and 1 EVOO by mistake...whoa Nelly...!
