minutesIt’s time to stop buying salad dressing! Store-bought dressings are filled with sugar and other unnecessary ingredients, and making your own will yield a much fresher, more flavorful dressing. Here, Jacques Pepin shows his recipe and tips for making a basic vinaigrette. You can swap ingredients, using different types of vinegar, using or omitting mustard, shallots, garlic, herbs, etc.
Ingredients
minced shallot
salt and pepper, to taste
good French mustard (we like Maille)
vinegar (like red wine)
water
olive oil
Directions
Notes
- Combine all your ingredients except oil in a jar and shake well.
- Add the oil at a ratio of 4 parts oil: 1 part vinegar
