Yield Makes 1 generous cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup red wine vinegar or aged sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped shallot
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Purée all the ingredients except the oil in a blender or food processor or with a hand-held immersion blender. With the machine running, pour in the olive oil in a steady stream. If you are not going to use the dressing within a few hours, store it tightly covered in the refrigerator; it will keep for several weeks. Bring it to room temperature and shake or whisk it well before you dress the salad.
  • Variations
  • Use an herb-infused vinegar in place of the red wine vinegar.
  • Herb Substitutions
  • Blend any of the following into the dressing: 1 to 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped English or lemon thyme, lovage, mint, oregano, marjoram, or French tarragon; 2 to 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil, dill, chervil, or chives; or 2 teaspoons fresh fennel seeds.

This dressing is so easy to make and it's so flavorful. I love that it's not too oily or heavy.

I didn't have any fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried herbs instead. It still turned out great!

This is my new go-to vinaigrette! It's so versatile and can be used on any type of salad. I love the combination of herbs and the tangy lemon flavor.

This vinaigrette is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite salads. I used it on a spinach salad with grilled chicken and it was perfect. The fresh herbs really shine through and give the dressing a bright, summery flavor.
