Makes 1 1/3 cups

Extra-virgin olive oil yields a flavorful, rich vinaigrette. If you prefer a lighter-tasting vinaigrette, try using vegetable or canola oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • cup champagne vinegar, or other mild-flavored vinegar such as rice-wine vinegar

  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk mustard and vinegar together. Slowly add oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until all the oil is added and dressing is creamy and emulsified. Add the salt and pepper; season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
