About

Sherry vinegar gives salad dressing an unusual, nutty and complex flavour. Try to get hold of an aged sherry vinegar whenever possible as it is less astringent and has more character. Valdespino is a good make. Sherry vinegar may be substituted by a good red wine vinegar.

Method

Crush the garlic with a good pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle until a smooth paste is formed. Then add the vinegar and lemon juice (if using), and whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. This can be made a few hours earlier, but not the day before because the garlic will taste stale. Give it a good whisk just before using.
