Dijon Vinaigrette
Description
The Dijon Vinaigrette recipe mixes olive oil with lemon juice and white wine vinegar to provide a bright acidic base. Dijon mustard and minced garlic contribute sharpness and depth, while salt and black pepper balance the flavors. Whisking these ingredients together creates a lightly emulsified dressing.
This vinaigrette has a smooth texture that coats greens evenly, delivering a harmonious blend of tartness from the lemon and vinegar with creaminess and pungency from the mustard and garlic. Its simplicity allows it to complement a wide variety of salad ingredients.
It can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week, retaining its flavor and emulsification with gentle stirring before use.
