Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is emulsified and thick.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar as desired.
- Use immediately or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before using.
Tips
- For a creamier dressing, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
- This vinaigrette pairs well with mixed greens, arugula, or as a marinade for vegetables.
- If the dressing solidifies in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and shake well.
