Dijon Vinaigrette
This all-purpose Dijon Vinaigrette recipe is delicious on green salads, pasta salads, and sandwiches alike. It's a standard red wine vinaigrette with the dial turned up on the Dijon, so it's packed with punchy mustard flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (see note 1)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano see note 2, dried
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a small bowl or in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper). Whisk or shake to combine.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Dijon mustard: Not crazy about Dijon? Reduce your mustard to 1 teaspoon and make standard Red Wine Vinaigrette. Or substitute brown mustard.
- Oregano: Or substitute dried marjoram, dried basil, Italian seasoning, or your favorite minced fresh herbs (such as basil, chives, or parsley).
- Yield: This Dijon dressing recipe makes just over 3/4 cup, enough for 6 to 7 servings, 2 tablespoons each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
