Dressings made by using oils and vinegars are commonly known as Vinaigrettes and are really popular. But it can be a daunting task when thinking of using these two ingredients together in the same dressing which is evident from the fact that the two ingredients do not mix together too well. A small experiment would imply this fact by trying to mix oil and vinegar in a bottle the oil would stay at the top while the vinegar would remain at the bottom of the bottle.
But oil and vinegar can be used in such a way that the two would remain together for a short duration of time which can be given the name of temporary emulsion. While making Vinaigrettes, oil and vinegar should be used in a proper proportion and this has to be strictly followed. The ratio of oil to vinegar should be 3:1. This ratio can be played with as different oils and vinegars are stronger than the others so the best way is to go by your taste. Salad and vegetable oils are the most commonly used in vinaigrettes. Seeing the wide variety available it is up to an individual to decide what oil and vinegar should be used and how the recipe has to be tuned according to it.
