MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Mustard Vinaigrette image

A generous spoonful of Dijon mustard makes this vinaigrette creamy and tart. Use the dressing with sturdy salad greens like romaine or with softer lettuces like Bibb lettuce or oak leaf. The dressing is too strong to work with baby salad greens or mesclun. It's also great with cooked vegetables like beets or broccoli and with grain salads.

Simple Vinaigrette image

We followed the standard 3-to-1 oil-to-vinegar ratio for this super simple vinaigrette. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, and toss a few tablespoons with fresh greens for a quick weeknight salad. But remember that vinaigrette isn't just for salad: You can also use it as a quick sauce for fish or grilled chicken.

2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard

BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS



Basic Vinaigrette Dressing With 8 Variations image

Bottled salad dressing can be convenient but its expensive and often full of salt, sugar, and chemical additives. Making your own is simple and allows you to customize the seasonings to suit whatever meal you are preparing. The amounts given make about 1/4 cup and can be expanded infinitely for larger salads. It can be made several days ahead and kept in the fridge. Sorry about the slightly odd way of putting the ingredients for the creamy dressing variations. The recipe editor is picky about what it will accept.

Time 15m

Yield 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 34

3 tablespoons oil (I prefer extra-virgin olive oil)
2 tablespoons vinegar (white, cider, wine, ..., not balsamic)
salt
black pepper (I prefer fresh-ground)
basic vinaigrette (use EVOO and red wine vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
basic vinaigrette (use canola or corn oil and cider vinegar)
1 tablespoon crumbled bacon
1/2 tablespoon finely minced onion
1 pinch celery seed (optional)
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard (optional)
1 -3 teaspoon brown sugar or 1 -3 teaspoon another sweetener, to taste
italian vinaigrette
1 teaspoon prepared mustard (I recommend Dijon or spicy brown)
1 -3 teaspoon honey (optional) or 1 -3 teaspoon another sweetener, to taste (optional)
basic vinaigrette
2 -3 tablespoons sour cream or 2 -3 tablespoons plain yogurt
basic creamy vinaigrette dressing
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
basic creamy vinaigrette dressing
1 garlic clove, put through press
fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch italian seasoning (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil (I prefer extra-virgin)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons oil (I prefer extra-virgin olive oil)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch italian seasoning (optional)

Steps:

  • Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
  • Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
  • Shake again then dress salad as desired.
  • Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
  • Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
  • Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
  • Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.

MUSTARD AND DILL VINAIGRETTE



Mustard and Dill Vinaigrette image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Mustard     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Vinegar     Dill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the brown sugar, the mustard, the vinegar, and salt to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the vinaigrette until it is emulsified. Stir in the dill.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mustard: The type of mustard you use will significantly impact the flavor of your vinaigrette. Dijon mustard is a popular choice because it has a sharp, tangy flavor that pairs well with many different ingredients. Whole-grain mustard adds a bit of texture and a more robust flavor, while honey mustard contributes a touch of sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different types of mustard to find one that you like best.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your vinaigrette will taste. Use high-quality olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. If you can, try to use freshly squeezed lemon juice or lime juice instead of bottled juice.
  • Adjust the Acid-to-Oil Ratio: The acid-to-oil ratio in a vinaigrette is a matter of personal preference. A good starting point is a 1:3 ratio of acid to oil. However, you can adjust this ratio to suit your taste. If you prefer a more tangy vinaigrette, add more acid. If you prefer a milder vinaigrette, add more oil.
  • Emulsify the Vinaigrette: To create a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, you need to emulsify it. This means whisking the ingredients together vigorously until they come together and form a thick, creamy sauce. You can also use a blender or food processor to emulsify the vinaigrette.
  • Season to Taste: Once you've emulsified the vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste, and you can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the vinaigrette or a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to add more flavor.

Conclusion:

A quick mustard vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and even meat. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your taste with just a few simple ingredients. Experiment with different types of mustard, vinegar, and herbs to create a vinaigrette that you love. And don't be afraid to get creative! There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a delicious mustard vinaigrette.
