  • About

Actually, the most basic vinaigrette is made without mustard, but this is a good, all-purpose dressing. For a milder dressing, leave out the garlic.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1

Method

  1. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk or stir together with a fork the vinegar, mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until smooth and emulsified or creamy. Taste and correct the vinegar-oil balance. Remove the garlic clove before serving.
