Salad Dressings
It is quite common for people to put salad dressings or vinaigrette in the refrigerator. However, research shows that there is no actual benefit if you do this. There are two main components of salad dressing – oil and vinegar, neither of which needs refrigeration. However, if your dressing is your own creation, you probably use some nut oil, garlic, or fruit juice, and those ingredients require refrigeration.
