| Basic Garlic Vinaigrette
French

|
|
|
| This is the basis for herbed vinaigrettes. You can substitute grainy mustard and honey for the Dijon and sugar, or add chopped herbs, or use lemon or other citrus juice instead of the vinegar. Since vinegars and oils can vary in intensity, taste your result, then add more of either ingredient to achieve the balance that suits you. |
