Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard will give your French dressing the best flavor.
- Whisk the dressing well: This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar and prevent the dressing from separating.
- Let the dressing rest for a few minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed: Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
- Store the dressing in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid: This will help to keep the dressing fresh for up to 2 weeks.
