Your favorite vinaigrette salad dressing

Pick the quantities you prefer of these and other edible greens you may have available. Wash thoroughly, then bounce the greens in a colander or spin in a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Tear into bite-size pieces and arrange in a salad bowl or into individual bowls. Add the additional ingredients of your choice. Toss lightly. Add viniagrette and toss again or have the dressing available at the table. -G.H.
