When learning how to make salad dressing, a vinaigrette is maybe the easiest thing you can throw together in your kitchen -- you literally add 4 ingredients to a jar (one of them is salt/pepper) and shake the jar. That's it! You can get a little fancier if you want to add extra flavor, but that's just a matter of chopping some herbs and tossing them in the jar. Voila, instant delicious salad in 2 minutes.

Add all ingredients to a jar. Tightly place the lid on the jar and shake well. Remove the lid and taste. Does it need more salt, pepper, or vinegar? Then add a little more. Shake and taste again.
Once the flavor balance is as you like it, let the salad dressing sit at least 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Shake it again before pouring over your salad.
