Authors Notes
A classic, easy recipe that is perfect for dipping vegetables in or drizzling on salad. I first became familiarized with French vinaigrette after my brother made it for a salad upon returning home from traveling abroad in France. This dressing is light, citrusy, herby, and flavorful.
The flavors of the shallot and herbs of choice really shine through in this quick and easy recipe that makes enough vinaigrette for 4 small salads (or 2 larger salads). Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 Shallot, Chopped into Small Pieces
1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Course Mustard
1/2 Lemon, Juiced
2 Tablespoons Good Olive Oil
A few dashes of salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon Chopped Herb(s) of Choice (I used parsley)
Method + Assembly
Combine all ingredients (shallot pieces, white wine vinegar, course mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs) in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
Drizzle over salad or dip vegetables/bread in.
Store any remaining vinaigrette in the refrigerator for later use.
Enjoy!
