- Comments: One of the greatest culinary surprises for French people visiting the United States, is to be served a salad with "French Dressing" - and they usually do not like it much.
- If there is such a thing as a "French Dressing" it is "vinaigrette": salt, pepper, oil, and wine vinegar.
- This is the basic dressing for nearly all salads and the only dressing (with the possible addition of minced herbs) for what is called "simple salads."
- "Simple salads" include green tossed salad and green vegetable salads.
- "Salades composees," that are made of many different ingredients, are mostly served as hors-d'oeuvre.
- The dressing is more elaborate and often includes mayonnaise.
