Introduction

Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats. Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats.
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 lemon, zested and juiced, about 1/4 cup
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Tips

To mellow the garlic flavor, roast it before adding to the dressing.

How can you tell if the dressing is good? I always say that if you get a one-eye wink out of me due to the tang, it's perfect.


Directions

Place all ingredients except the oil in a small food processor or bowl. With the processor running or while whisking, slowly stream in the oil.
Refrigerate up to a week.




Serving Size: Makes 3/4 cup, 1 tablespoon per serving

    This was one of the best dressings I've ever made. With a few minor deviations- I put everything in salad dressing tube, shook it by hand instead of using food processor and added a little extra garlic. - 11/8/12

    This is a super dressing. I used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine. It tasted really awesome and I did add a little more garlic because I like garlic. Quick to make and won't be in my fridge for very long since I will use it on most of my salads that I have once a day. Thank you. - 1/7/18

    This is great as a quick marinade for BBQing shrimp/prawns. I just dipped the shrimp in the dressing, not soak it. Very tasty! - 3/21/21

    This sounds delicious! It's just me in my household, so I'll reduce ingredients by half so I dont lose any to spoil. I can use the rest of the lemon juice as a flavoring for my water and occasional Diet Coke! - 1/29/17

    Always LOVE to see Dijon in a recipe. So many people are afraid of it... or only know the "horror" of yellow mustard. Dijon brings such flavor and new dimension to so many foods. - 1/12/14
