Dijon Vinaigrette
This all purpose vinaigrette is bold in flavor yet super versatile. And it will keep, covered in your fridge, for up to two weeks–simply give it a good shake before using. It’s perfect not only for all sorts of salads but also more generally as a condiment for roast vegetables, meat, chicken, fish, and beyond.
Servings: 16 Servings, more or less. Makes 3/4 cup.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar, or lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot (from about 1 small shallot)
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Begin whisking. In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, Dijon mustard, and shallot. Add 1/2 tablespoon water to help with the emulsion. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon each) and whisk to combine.
- Incorporate the oil. Continue whisking as you drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
Notes
- If you’d like to cut the oil down a tad, start with 1/3 cup and go from there.
- If you don’t like a sharp mustard taste, start with 1 tablespoon of mustard and increase to taste.
