Basic Vinaigrette With Variations image

When I don't have the time or inclination to look up a recipe this is the salad dressing I make. I always have all the ingredients and I can change it up to match what I've put in the salad. I keep this in the fridge for up to a week and just bring it to room temperature and whisk again before serving.

Time 5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (less if using table salt)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2-2/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk the garlic cloves, mustard, vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  • While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify.
  • Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Variations:.
  • Use any other vinegar you have, including red wine vinegar and balsamic.
  • Leave out the garlic or add herbs as you like.
  • Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and/or substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a Greek-like dressing. I would leave out the mustard for this but the dressing will not emulsify as well without it.
