Description
A vibrant, homemade vinaigrette that enhances any salad with a balanced flavor. Made with high-quality olive oil, cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar, it’s quick to prepare, perfectly emulsified with Dijon mustard, and packed with a tangy taste that’s anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
3 cups extra virgin olive oil
1 cup vinegar (apple cider or balsamic)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the mustard mixture until well blended. The mustard helps emulsify, keeping the dressing from separating.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to maintain a creamy texture.
Let the dressing rest for 5 minutes before using for a more harmonious flavor.
Notes
Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
Adjust the oil and vinegar ratio to suit your taste.
Optional: Whisk in herbs like tarragon or a touch of honey for added complexity.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, with a splash of vinegar added if the dressing thickens too much.
