Provided by Kemp Minifie

Categories     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Vegan     Shallot

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons red- or white-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt; let the mixture stand 10 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, then add the oil in a very slow, thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is emulsified. Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: The vinaigrette can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

  • Whisk the vinaigrette vigorously until it is well emulsified. This means that the oil and vinegar should be completely combined and there should be no separation.
  • Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Use the vinaigrette immediately or store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
