Ingredients
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- garlic clove minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic (if using).
- Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the mixture continuously until the vinaigrette is emulsified and well combined.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- This yields one cup of dressing. Each serving is 2 tablespoons.
- Whisk vigorously while slowly drizzling in the olive oil to create a stable emulsion. This technique ensures a smooth, well-blended dressing.
- Ensure your vinegar and mustard are at room temperature to help them emulsify more easily with the olive oil
- If you find the vinaigrette too tangy, you can adjust the acidity by adding a little more olive oil or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
- Let the vinaigrette sit for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
