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
ServingsOriginal: 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

Quantities are auto-calculated from the original recipe as a guide. Items without numbers (e.g. “to taste”) are not changed.
Method 4 steps
Mix garlic, salt, mustard, and vinegar until smooth.
Add oil and mix until smooth.
Add pepper and herbs to taste.
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.
