Oh my dear, food isn't about being correct, it's about taste! Your ratio is very unusual, 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar is the most often seen. But if you like it, there's nothing incorrect about it. I serve the vinegar and oil in decanters right on the table, so my family can take the amount they prefer.

I use 4 tablespoons of vinegar to 1 cup of oil

Answer 6

Just enough oil to coat the salad. Applied first so that the vinegar does not saturate the salad. Then vinegar to taste.
Not too much.

I don't measure, I just make sure there is more oil then vinegar in the mix.
