To assemble the dressings

Step 2
The ratio of oil to acid (vinegar, lemon juice etc.) should be 1 part acid to 3 parts oil.

Step 3
Serve the dressings with a selection of salad leaves and your favourite salad toppings.

Some good ideas are:

  • Rocket, watercress, baby spinach, red radicchio, mixed baby lettuce leaves etc.
  • Pistachio nuts, slivered almonds, fruit such as pear, figs and apple slices, pine nuts, croutons etc.
  • Meats such as sliced smokes salmon or grilled chicken strips.
