About

Vinaigrette keeps in the fridge for a week or so. Taste it again before using as it will likely have lost some of its zing and may need a little more vinegar. This quantity of vinaigrette will do two or three salads.

Method

Whisk everything except the oil together until well combined.

Pour in the oil while continuing to whisk; it should emulsify into a thick, creamy consistency. Alternatively, vigorously shake everything together in a jam jar.

Taste and add more sugar, salt, pepper or mustard according to your taste.
