Tips
Pair the dressing to the greens.
Balance flavors that you like along with texture.
Emulsified vinaigrette is a good choice when in doubt.
Using 2 types of oil (extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil) keeps the vinaigrette from solidifying in the fridge.
Add other ingredients before or after dressing according to whether they will wilt.
