Notes

If you want to make a large batch of my Vinaigrette just remember the ratio of Vinegar to oil is 2:1 oil to vinegar
Classically the ratio is 3:1 oil to vinegar but I prefer a more punchy and less oily vinaigrette
You may improvise with wonderful results. Sub in flavored vinegars, different herbs and even infused oil to the recipe. 
If you do not like spicy, omit the red chili flakes
This dressing can be drizzled or tossed into the salad
