Classic, fresh and versatile. I often make this dressing for holiday parties and brunch because it is so easy and elegant all at the same time. It tastes amazing on fresh greens for a classic French salad, or drizzled over steamed vegetables or crispy potatoes. Make extra and rotate with your other favorite vinaigrettes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup good olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar, optional
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium jar with a tight fitting lid, add the mustard, garlic, champagne vinegar, sugar, if using, salt and pepper. Put the lid on and shake to combine.
  2. Remove the lid and slowly whisk in the olive oil until smooth.
  3. Add additional Kosher salt and pepper to taste, in necessary.

If not using immediately or if you have leftovers, refrigerate the dressing.

Notes

To make a salad with this dressing, combine with 4-6 cups of Little Gem lettuce or other favorite salad greens, toss, and serve.
