Notes
- This yields one cup of dressing. Each serving is 2 tablespoons.
- Whisk vigorously while slowly drizzling in the olive oil to create a stable emulsion. This technique ensures a smooth, well-blended dressing.
- Ensure your vinegar and mustard are at room temperature to help them emulsify more easily with the olive oil
- If you find the vinaigrette too tangy, you can adjust the acidity by adding a little more olive oil or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
- Let the vinaigrette sit for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
