Vinaigrette

Instructions


1. Add about a tablespoon of good Dijon mustard to 4-6 tsp vinegar (to taste). THe mustard will help it thicken up and give it a great flavor.

2. Then, add the olive oil, approximately 2/3 of a cup, or more or less, to taste.

Heres the trick that will help you emulsify the dressing, which thickens it up and helps the oil mix with the vinegar: Add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly. This will emulsify the dressing so it doesnt separate. The key is the steady slow stream of oil, whisking vigorously, until it is emulsified.

Then, when its well combined and thick, add some salt and pepper and youre ready to dress your salad with your classic, perfect vinaigrette.
