Description

This Dijon mustard French dressing offers a smooth balance of acidity, creaminess, and richness. Easy to adapt, it enhances salads, vegetables, and grain bowls, and adjusts effortlessly to seasonal ingredients or personal taste.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add the Dijon mustard and whisk : Blend with a fork or small whisk until smooth. The mixture will already begin to emulsify.
  3. 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.
  4. Finish with freshly ground pepper : Taste, adjust the seasoning if needed, and whisk again. Adapt the final seasoning to your chosen salad.
