For a more intense flavor, allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least 15 minutes before using it, allowing the flavors to meld. Feel free to experiment with other types of lettuce or add-ins like crumbled feta cheese, toasted nuts, or cherry tomatoes to customize your salad. Store leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use.
