Perfect Mustard Vinaigrette

By eveweb

Extra-virgin olive oil yields a flavorful, rich vinaigrette. If you prefer a lighter-tasting vinaigrette, try using vegetable or canola oil.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup champagne vinegar, or other mild-flavored vinegar such as rice-wine vinegar
• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk mustard and vinegar together. Slowly add oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until all the oil is added and dressing is creamy and emulsified. Add the salt and pepper; season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
