I grew-up in a house with a refrigerator shelf filled with bottled (fat-free 😬) salad dressings. Thankfully, I’m well beyond that (no shame or judgement about bottled dressings - some are delicious!), but the creativity in making a vinaigrette is always rewarded. And no 2 vinaigrettes are ever the same! My favorite scenario is when a jar of something (mustard, jam, harissa, etc) is almost empty and I make a vinaigrette in that jar - all of the last tasty bits get shaken into the dressing and it’s super-flavorful. Thanks for your never-ending inspiration, Julia!

YES! I love doing that so much. So satisfying to get whatever's stuck in the jar to turn into something else miraculous.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I've made all the dressings in Simply Julia, and (while they're all delicious and well worth making) I can definitely endorse your go-to dressing with soy, ACV, oil, and tahini. It's so good and (the best part) it's so easy to make in different quantities. I can throw together a small amount if I'm just making a quick side salad for my husband and I, or I can just up the amounts to make even more. And the fact that it's all equal amounts (so, no math) means that my communications-major brain is off the hook for doing calculations. LOVE it, and love this chart.

As an English major who writes recipes for a living (math is hard!), I really appreciate this acknowledgement lol!
