Cookbook:Basic Vinaigrette

      Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

      Traditionally, a 1:3 ratio of acid to fat is used in a vinaigrette. I add mustard to keep it from separating.

      Ingredients

      2 tbs red wine vinegar
      6 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
      2 tsp Dijon mustard
      Salt and pepper, to taste

      Procedure

      1. Whisk together vinegar and mustard. Slowly stream in oil while whisking continuously. Taste and check for seasoning; adjust as desired. Toss with salad greens and serve.
