Simple, basic, and essential. You can always make a true Vinaigrette, but as is, this is the simplest green salad, as good for entertaining as it is for weeknights.

Almost any greens are good with this dressing, from romaine, Boston, or iceberg lettuce to frisée or radicchio, but a mixture is best. The prepacked mesclun mixtures now sold in almost all supermarkets make it even easier.
