What proportions do you use on the oil and vinegar? Dad’s was always perfect but he used capfuls of the bottles to measure and who knows what that was.
I find half-and-half is easy and tastes good, but as you do it more, you get better at eyeballing it and don’t have to stop to measure all the time.
My oldest sons and I love a tart dressing, so I will pour in eyeballing and use more vinegar than oil. Using rice wine vinegar works well as it is milder. Many of the bottles are “seasoned” (meaning with msg which is a boring dull flavor as well as toxic to me) so I seek out the unseasoned. I taste test after I mix, on a bit of lettuce. My mom doesn’t like it that tart so sometimes I make it milder.
