Dijon Shallot Apple Cider Vinaigrette
An authentic French Dijon vinaigrette with shallot for garlicky bite and apple cider vinegar for a seasonal tartness. Perfect on any salad, and especially seasonal salads that include winter fruit and nuts or seeds.
Yield: cup
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons quality Dijon mustard
- 3 teaspoons quality apple cider vinegar
- ½ medium shallot or 1 whole small shallot minced
- 1 tbsp neutral oil or olive oil a little less than 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a measuring cup with handle, mix the Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar with a small whisk. Slowly add in the oil, a few drops at a time, whisking constantly. It helps to place a towel underneath the measuring cup! Ensure that you fully emulsify (dissolve the liquids and oil to smoothness) the oil before adding much more. Add enough oil to measure 1/2 cup total. Add in the minced shallot and stir.
- Add in a few pinches of salt and a bit of freshly ground pepper and taste (try dipping a piece of lettuce in the dressing for a more accurate taste than straight off a spoon). Adjust seasonings to taste.
Notes
Serve right away or refrigerate up to one week.
