$55 Vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 

  • 1  teaspoon garlic, minced (can substitute minced shallot) 

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, (can substitute fresh lemon juice) 

  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar (to taste, more if you’re using lemon juice) 

  • Salt and pepper to taste (roughly 1 teaspoon of each) 

  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 

  1. Blend mustard, garlic, sugar and vinegar  together. 

  2. In a slow steady stream add olive oil until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon each.

  3. Or add all ingredients to mini prep and blend till emulsified. 


I named this the $55 Vinaigrette—about 35 years ago, I took a cooking class that cost $55, which was a lot for a class at the time. This vinaigrette is the only thing I took away from it—this very classic, excellent French-style vinaigrette.

I’ve made it a thousand times. Hope you make it and enjoy it too!
