Report

I tried Samin Nosrat's favorite vinaigrette recipe, the one she says is so good she wants to drink it. It turns a plate of greens into a feast!

Instructions

Put the minced shallot in a strainer and rinse briefly. Let drain.
Put the drained shallot into a mason jar (or small bowl) and add the vinegar and warm water. Let sit for a few minutes.
Whisk in the oil, mustards, honey, thyme, garlic and some salt and pepper.
Taste the dressing to adjust any of the element. Then cap and refrigerate until needed. Give it a good shake when ready to use.

Notes

Depending on how big your salads are, this recipe will dress several salads, if not more.
It should keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
Shake well before using to blend and stir up those shallots.
