Introduction

A rich dressing that, while not super low in calories, can add spark and bite to the simplest of leafy green salads. The trick is in the preparation. I picked this up from a friend in France who actually whisked the ingredients in a bowl before adding the salad on top, but I find it easier making it separately in a glass and then pouring over salad.

Ingredients

    Very approximate. Adjust to ensure the consistency of the dressing.
    1 tsp dijon mustard
    4 tsp good quality extra olive oil
    2-3 tsp white balsamic vinegar

Directions

Spoon the mustard into a glass. Then add no more than one teaspoon of oil. Stir vigourously with the teaspoon until the oil is fully blended with the mustard. Repeat with remaining oil, no more than a teaspoon at a time. The mixture will becoming lighter and fluffier. If it starts to separate (through adding too much oil at once), stir even harder! At some point, if you add too much oil all together, this will become harder to achieve, so you can stop adding oil if you think you have reached the limit. Gently stir in the vinegar one dash at a time. The more vinegar you add, the more you'll dilute the creamy consistency, but of course gives you more dressing! Pour over a leafy green salad and toss.
