Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We like our vinaigrette with more acidity. Not for us.

    P44. A simple recipe following the 1:4 ratio. Makes just enough vinaigrette for a salad for 3 or 4. A few simple variations are given; I always add mustard but heavy cream is also a great addition for a milder, creamier dressing. The other suggestions are good reminders to throw in some herbs or garlic if I have some prepared. Great instructions for how to make a vinaigrette without a recipe are given as well.
