Transport your taste buds back to the elegance of the early 20th century with this classic 'French Dressing 1908' recipe. Featuring a perfectly balanced blend of rich olive oil, tangy vinegar, bright lemon juice, and just a whisper of sweetness from sugar, this dressing delivers timeless flavor in every drizzle. A touch of Dijon mustard and a dash of black pepper elevate the simplicity of this vinaigrette, making it beautifully versatile for crisp salads or as a marinade. Ready in just 5 minutes, this easy-to-whisk emulsion is a tribute to vintage culinary charm, with modern convenience. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week and enjoy an authentic taste of culinary history with every pour.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until well blended.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This process helps emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, sugar, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before each use.
Serve immediately over a crisp green salad or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
