Basic Vinaigrette image

A basic vinaigrette deserves a permanent spot in every cook's repertoire. Ready in minutes and fine to keep in the fridge for weeks, it can totally change a salad. And it's highly adaptable. Add garlic or tarragon in place of the mustard, or infuse it with other herbs. For a creamy dressing, replace the oil with buttermilk, crème fraîche or mayonnaise. Some chefs even use vegetable purées or nut milks in place of the oil.

Time 5m

Yield 1/3 cup, enough for a salad serving 4 to 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour vinegar into a shallow bowl. Whisk in salt.
  • Gradually whisk in olive oil. Adding it slowly will help the dressing emulsify. Whisk in the mustard, if using.
  • Add a few grinds of black pepper and taste. Add more of whatever you think it needs, a bit at a time. (Too tart? Add oil. Too bland? Add salt and vinegar.)

I made this vinaigrette last night and it was delicious! I used it on a salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese. It was the perfect dressing for the salad.
