LEMON DIJON SALAD DRESSING



Lemon Dijon Salad Dressing image

I copied this recipe from a Barefoot Contessa episode on The Food Network. Usually I make only half the recipe, using 2 tablespoons of regular mayonnaise instead of the raw egg yolk...seems to work fine. This is one of my family's favourite salad dressings. I guessed at the total number of servings, based on 2 Tablespoons dressing per salad serving, but this may be more or less than your personal preference dictates.
