Answer 4

I start out with a one to three ratio. One tablespoon of vinegar and three of oil. Use different vinegars, different oils, add some mustard maybe garlic, different herbs, a bit of sugar, maybe lemon juice instead of the vinegar. You might like more oil and less vinegar. Just fool around, it's fun!!
