Classic French Vinaigrette

This is the recipe that started SaladSuccess. My french mother would make this vinaigrette every day. Sometimes she would add the salad parsley and green onions, other times herbs from her garden. It ruined me for life from using store-bought bottled dressings.

Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp. of Dijon Mustard
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Olive oil up to the oil mark
  • Add vinegar to the vinegar mark
  • 2 dashes of salt
  • 1 dash of pepper
  • 1 tsp of a smooth dijon mustard
  • Shake vigorously
