It’s perfect for seasoning more than just salad.

When I first started culinary school, I had a huge salad habit.
This was important because while I was in culinary school, I was also working full-time.

Id get to school at 5 a.m. and then head to work straight from class.
Salads were easy to pack, traveled well, and I could eat them fast.
It was the perfect meal.

I went to a culinary school where I learned all the French cooking techniques.
Some things were lost on me (when will I ever makea terrine?
), but others clicked, like how to make a vinaigrette.

Ill never forget my shock and amazement when I was able to turn simple ingredients into a delicious dressing.
And theres no vinaigrette recipe as simple and that yields such consistently perfect results as Julia Childs French vinaigrette.
Even if youre a self-proclaimed terrible cook, it’s possible for you to make it.
Her cookbooks are proof of that.
Her French vinaigrette is a great example of this.
Its simple and requires minimal prep and zero cooking.
One of my favorite uses is as a marinade for chicken.
Ill typically double the recipe and use half for the marinade, and the remaining half as a dressing.
Skip the bottled stuff and make your own vinaigrette, specifically Julia Childs French vinaigrette.
Its French cooking at its finestthanks Julia!
