oil allows the other ingredients to be suspended in the emulsion spreading the dressing throughout the salad clinging to the salad ingredients and helping the dressing to cling rather than drip off and pool on the plate. Oil also gives a rich smooth mouth feel mellowing out the sharpness of the other ingredients like citrus juice, vinegar, herbs, spices, mustard...

go to bed bath and beyond and get a salad dressing bottle. It's empty but you fill it with olive oil, vinegar, mustard and salt to the lines on the edge. Give it a shake and you're ready. These are the basic ingredients of the french vinaigrette but you can adjust the proportions, add herbs etc to make it interesting.
