Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 pinches of salt
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Start by dissolving the salt in the vinegar : Mix for a few seconds to ensure the salt fully dissolves, this prevents gritty textures and creates a smooth, balanced base.
- Add the Dijon mustard and whisk : Blend with a fork or small whisk until smooth. The mixture will already begin to emulsify.
- Pour in the olive oil slowly while whisking : Add the oil in a thin stream while whisking continuously. This creates a stable, creamy vinaigrette that doesn’t separate easily.
- Finish with freshly ground pepper : Taste, adjust the seasoning if needed, and whisk again. Adapt the final seasoning to your chosen salad.
