Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.

Best if made ahead so flavors meld. I serve ours with bread. Sometimes have added cooked barley. I used canned crab instead of the expensive stuff.
