A Simple Vinaigrette

Is there such a thing as a simple vinaigrette?   It seems to me that I may add herbs and spices that I have available and like to jazz up the vinaigrette. The herbs may be fresh and finely chopped but dry herbs will also do well.

I am so happy that I finally am able to make a simple vinaigrette and dress it up to my liking.  I may have been intimidated by the name.  I am glad that I no longer have to buy dressings for my salads.

I use what I have avaible in my herb garden or spice rack.

My vinaigrette:

1 tsp mustard (Dijon, if I want to be fancy)
1 tsp finely minced (fresh) garlic or finely minced scallion or onion
3 tbs champagne vinegar ( if I feel extravagant) or rice vinegar or any available vinegar in the fridge
1/2 cup cup canola oil (my choice)
Kosher salt or Sea salt and pepper to taste
To add fire to the vinaigrette, I add about 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
You know how it is:  now I need a pretty bottle or jar to store my vinaigrette.
