Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 parts oil such as olive oil, hazelnut oil or walnut oil
- 1 part vinegar or acid such as balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
- A binder such as Dijon mustard (optional)
- Fresh or dried herbs or spices
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together your choice of acid, binder (optional), herbs, and other flavors, including salt and pepper.
- Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the oil until emulsification forms. If you did not use a binder, you will need to re-whisk the vinaigrette prior to serving.
- Vinaigrettes can also be made in a blender (for a larger portion) or a lidded jar (shake well).
