Karen’s Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette with Shallots and Garlic
This zesty vinaigrette is my daily salad dressing staple! Easily whisk ingredients together and store in the refrigerator. Terrific paired with my: Radicchio Salad
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons grainy mustard, see my recipe below!
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated
- 1/3 cup shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh cracked to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs, Italian seasonings or oregano; crushed with your fingertips
- 1/2 cup neutral oil*, such as safflower oil, expeller pressed
Instructions
- Add the first 8 ingredients to a medium sized bowl. Use a whisk to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to macerate.
- Measure the oil in a pyrex measuring cup. Drizzle the oil into the bowl; in a thin stream, whisking to start until emulsified – then a larger stream until all combined and emulsified.
- Store the vinaigrette in an airtight glass carafe or jar with a tight seal. Refrigerate and use within 3 weeks.
Notes
* with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.”
