But if you learn just one all-purpose dressing, make it this perfect lemon vinaigrette.

This recipe comes fromCauswells, a restaurant in San Francisco that makes a mean cheeseburger.

The mixed greens salad wasnt just good it wasperfect.

And I never, ever say that about mixed greens.

I use it as a base for so many other dressings and marinades.

But give it a spin in the blender, and youll never worry about the dressing breaking.

Makes about 2 cups.
