The basic vinaigrette:
1/3 vinegar
2/3 oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard (this helps to blend the oil and vinegar so they stick together a bit, emulsion).
salt, pepper, a little sugar to taste.
You can try different types of oils and vinegars. Use a fancy oil or different flavours of vinegar, maybe lemon juice. Try a dab of maple syrup for the sugar.
Once you master the basic vinaigrette, you can experiment by adding different ingredients, from fresh herbs to grated Parmesan cheese to Worcestershire sauce and even a dollop of ketchup.
