in what universe is it ok to have a 1:1 vinegar-oil ratio? this was dreadful : (

In my universe, the ratio made this salad piquant. This recipe can be made entirely in advance and packs a lot of zing. With a side of marinaded flank steak, this makes a delicious and simple summer meal.

1:1 is a ratio I now use for green salads. Much prefer.
