Basic oil/vinegar equation can include different oils (olive oil, walnut) and vinegars (red, white, cider, sherry, champagne)
o This basic equation lends itself to endless flavor variations, including spices such as curry (perfect in a cold pilaf), savoury additions such as capers or olives (perfect in Mediterranean salads such as Greek, Nicoise), and tangy/fresh variations such as herbs and citrus (green salad), and creamy such as mayonnaise or yoghurt (composed salads, crudites)
