Easy Red Wine Vinaigrette
Description
The vinaigrette comes together by whisking or shaking ingredients including red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard for a bit of sharpness, and a touch of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Sea salt and black pepper add seasoning, while extra virgin olive oil provides a smooth texture and richness. Whisking ensures the ingredients emulsify into a cohesive dressing.
This vinaigrette delivers a bright, sharp flavor tempered by sweetness, designed to enhance the taste of fresh greens or vegetables without overpowering them. The Dijon mustard helps stabilize the dressing and adds a mild pungency.
Additional flavor may be imparted by adding minced fresh garlic or shallot, as noted in the recipe's suggestions. The dressing can be stored in a sealed container and shaken before use to remix any separated ingredients.
