Simple Vinaigrette Dressing

I used to love eating ranch and thousand island dressing... until I found out what they were made from.  So now I make my own 1 minute dressing from a few simple ingredients.  This is a variation of the normal vinaigrette as I add mustard. Also, I never use a recipe and usually eyeball it.. just remember that the ratio of the oil to vinegar is about 3:1. Since I like the vinegar, I tend to add a little more... you can play around with the ratios depending on how much dressing you need, but I've added examples to the right if you need measurements.

Ingredients:
