Ingredients

  • ¼ cup white wine or champagne vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon, and garlic to a bowl. Whisk until the salt dissolves and the mustard is smooth.
  • Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking constantly. Go slow at first. The dressing will turn thick, creamy, and pale as it emulsifies.
  • Dip a lettuce leaf and taste, then adjust the salt or vinegar to your liking. Toss with your salad right before serving. No whisk? Add everything to a jar, seal, and shake hard for 20 seconds.

Notes

Yield: Makes about 1 cup; serving size ~2 tablespoons.
Storage: Keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge up to 2 weeks. The oil firms up cold, so bring to room temperature and shake before using.
