How to Make an Oil Vinegar Emulsion

An emulsion is a mixture of two things that don't easily mix well together. Oil and water is the classic example of two things that don't mix, but oil and vinegar is a close second. Adding spices to oil and vinegar is an easy way to make a great, light dressing for all kinds of salads.

Things You'll Need

• Oil
• Vinegar
• Wisk or fork
• Electric mixer (optional)

Instructions

1. Pour 1/2 cup of oil into a small bowl.

2. Add 3 tablespoons of vinegar.

3. Use a wisk or a fork to combine the oil and vinegar. Work fast with the wisk or fork, because the ingredients will resist mixing. If you don't get results, try an electric mixer.

4. To make a larger amount, pour ingredients into a bottle or salad dressing flute. Close tightly and shake vigorously to mix ingredients.

Tips & Warnings

• Add in spices like an Italian herb blend to complete the dressing. Try flavored vinegars for different taste.
