| Classic Vinaigrette
French

|
|
|
| A classic vinaigrette adds a tang to all types of salads or vegetables. It is ideal simply with mixed salad leaves. This takes 5 minutes to put together. |
|
|
|
| Ingredients |
|
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 or 2 pinches of sugar

Steps
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 | Whisk together mustard and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. |
| | 2 | Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly. This results in a thick smooth emulsification, rather than the oil separating and sitting on top. If the vinaigrette is too sharp for your taste, add a little more oil. |
| | 3 | The vinaigrette may be kept at room temperature in a sealed container and out of direct sunlight for up to 1 week before serving. |

| Notes

Based on Le Cordon Bleu recipe. CHEF'S TIP As a rule of thumb, the guide for vinaigrettes is one part acid (wine vinegar or lemon juice) to four parts oil.
