CHAMPAGNE DIJON VINAIGRETTE



Champagne Dijon Vinaigrette image

This is a great vinaigrette. You can add dried herbs if you like. I especially like it with mixed vegetable/fruit salads. If champagne vinegar is not available, it is easily homemade with leftover champagne and a few week's setting time. Instructions are included.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup vinaigrette

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a small glass jar and shake until oil is emulsified.
  • May be kept in refrigerator up to 1 month.
  • Homemade champagne vinegar can be done by storing leftover champagne in an open jar, at room temperature for a few weeks.
  • It will turn into vinegar.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality olive oil. The quality of the olive oil will greatly affect the taste of the vinaigrette, so it's worth it to spend a little more on a good bottle.
  • Use a variety of vinegars. There are many different types of vinegar that can be used in a vinaigrette, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular options include red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to a vinaigrette. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper.
  • Taste the vinaigrette as you go. The best way to make sure the vinaigrette is balanced is to taste it as you go and adjust the ingredients as needed.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest for a bit before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Dijon vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads and dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious dressing, give Dijon vinaigrette a try.
