Garlic and Mustard Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette (from French vinaigre, vinegar) is an emulsion of acid and fat, usually with other flavorings. It is one of the most basic salad dressings.

Ingredients

ServingsServes 4Original: Serves 4
  • garlic, smashed1 clove
  • vinegar2 tbsp
  • mustard, prepared1 tsp
  • oil, vegetable, extra-virgin olive, almond, hazelnut, etc.6 tbsp
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, freshly ground; to taste
  • herbs, to taste

Method 4 steps

  1. Mix garlic, salt, mustard, and vinegar until smooth.

  2. Add oil and mix until smooth.

  3. Add pepper and herbs to taste.

  4. Let stand; the longer the herbs and mustard soak in the oil, the better-blended the flavor will be. You may need to quickly remix the vinaigrette just before dressing the salad if the oil and vinegar have separated while standing.
