How to Make THE BEST Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing
Description
How to Make THE BEST Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing brings together seasoned or unseasoned rice vinegar, shallots minced finely for mild onion flavor, and spicy Dijon mustard blended smoothly with olive oil. The olive oil is incorporated slowly while whisking to form a stable emulsion, giving the dressing a creamy texture without any added thickeners.
This vinaigrette is flavored simply with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, allowing the tanginess of the vinegar and mustard to shine amid the richness of the olive oil. The shallots add a gentle pungency and texture contrast.
To prepare, ingredients can be whisked quickly in a bowl or combined in a sealed jar and shaken. This method also allows convenient storage in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature and stir or shake again before serving to ensure optimal flavor and texture.
