Classic French Vinaigrette

Source: At Home with Christy Rost, Season 3, Episode 309
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I prefer Maille)
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Rub the garlic clove inside a small bowl and save it for another use. Add Dijon mustard to the bowl and whisk in the red wine vinegar until they are well combined. Slowly pour in olive oil, whisking constantly, until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over salads.

Yield: approximately 2/3 cup vinaigrette
