Introduction

This is one of my own vinaigrette recipes adapted from the original one my French husband taught me when we first met back in 2010. The basic recipe for French vinaigrette is dijon, vinegar, & oil. Other add-ins are limited only by your imagination, varying the type of oil, type of vinegar, adding honey, lemon, orange, or even grand marnier for starters! Once you have the basics down, the rest is just playing & having fun! Enjoy yourself - if it's not fun, why do it?? :-) This is one of my own vinaigrette recipes adapted from the original one my French husband taught me when we first met back in 2010.

Ingredients

    6 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
    .5 tsp Dijon Mustard, Maille (by LUCYLAKE)
    .5 tbsp Tahini
    1 dash Salt
    2 dash Pepper, black

Directions

Mix the mustard and tahini in a small bowl first, then add the balsamic, mixing well until smooth. Next add the evoo and stir until smooth and fully incorporated. Add salt & pepper to taste (use white pepper if you don't want the black specks) Mix one final time, then pour over your salad greens to dress them. Don't forget to toss them well before serving. Note: The amount of vinaigrette is modest by my normal American standards, but since I moved to France, I have adopted their ways of simply dressing a salad rather than drowning it. ;-) Et Voila, c'est fini ! Bon appetit !

Serving Size: Makes enough for 6 servings on 350g mixed greens salad
