Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the water, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until well blended.
Add the dry mustard, sugar, paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Continue whisking until all the dry ingredients have dissolved.
Slowly pour in the olive oil and vegetable oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. The dressing should have a thick and creamy consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or bottle. Shake well before each use as the oils may naturally separate over time.
Serve over your favorite salad or use as a dip for fresh vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
