French Vinaigrette
You can't go wrong with this classic vinaigrette. It's easy to assemble and will make any salad sparkle with goodness.
Ingredients
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1 Tbs. sherry or red wine vinegar
- 1/2 small shallot peeled and minced (about 1 Tbs.)
- 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbs. to 4 Tbs. olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix salt, vinegar, and shallot. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
- Mix in the Dijon mustard, then 3 Tbs. of olive oil. Stir well. Taste. If too sharp add the remaining olive oil and more salt, if necessary.
- Fresh herbs can also be added, if desired. Keeps about 8 hours at room temperature. If making in advance, add shallots closer to serving time.
- Makes 1/4 cup vinaigrette, enough for one large green salad.
