Almost-Empty Dijon Mustard Jar Vinaigrette Salad Dressing image

When your jar of Dijon mustard is pretty much at the end of the road, you can mix this dressing in the same jar. I approximated the amount of Dijon mustard for when you have a full jar, but basically you use the amount that is clinging to the bottom and sides of your almost empty jar!

Sweet Onion Champagne Vinaigrette w Dijon Mustard image

This is so tasty.

Provided by barbara lentz

Categories Dressings

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 large sweet vidalia onion roasted
10 clove garlic
1/4 c fresh parsley chopped
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c dijon mustard
2 c extra virgin olive oil
1/3 c champagne vinegar
1/2 c water
1 tsp each salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the onion on a baking pan drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast until the onion is nice and browned. Remove from oven and let cool
2. Place the onion in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Process until well incorporated

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dressing will be. Look for fresh herbs, Dijon mustard, and vinegar.
Use the right proportions of ingredients. The balance of flavors in a vinaigrette is important. Too much vinegar will make the dressing too acidic, while too little will make it bland. Start with the proportions in the recipe, and then adjust to taste.
Whisk the dressing until it is well combined. This will help to emulsify the dressing and prevent the oil from separating from the vinegar.
Let the dressing rest for a few minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Store the dressing in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Dijon mustard vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dressing that will elevate any dish.
