Peel and finely chop 1 small shallot (2 tablespoons of chopped shallot) and add it to the mason-type jar;
Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar (White Wine Vinegar, but you can also use red or champagne vinegar);
Add 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (Tip: to create the best vinaigrette you'll need to keep this proportion of vinegar to oil 1:3);

Add about a 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Season with freshly ground black pepper;
OPTIONAL: add a teaspoon of Maple syrup to balance out acidity;
Put the lid on the jar and mix well. You can use it immediately or it can be kept in a refrigerator for about a week. Pour over your favorite salad.
