Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small Shallot, finely minced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, finely minced shallot, and minced garlic. Stir well until the mustard is fully incorporated and the ingredients are mixed uniformly.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. To emulsify means to fully incorporate the oil and vinegar into a smooth and cohesive mixture.
Once the olive oil is well combined, add the salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk again to ensure these are evenly distributed throughout the vinaigrette.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper to suit your taste preferences.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for easy shaking before each use.
Store any unused vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before using as the ingredients may separate over time.
