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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your dressing. Choose tomatoes that are in season and have a deep, red color.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this dressing, as it has a rich, fruity flavor. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a regular olive oil, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Add some herbs and spices: You can add a variety of herbs and spices to your dressing to give it more flavor. Some popular choices include basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find a combination that you like.
  • Let the dressing sit for a while before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can make the dressing up to a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Red French dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and vegetables. With its simple ingredients and bold flavor, red French dressing is a classic for a reason.
