Classic French Vinaigrette Dressing
French Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe
I had every intention to make a classic French Bistro salad with goat cheese for the blog and my goat cheese bread crumb pieces never made it to the last round. What I did end up making and loving is a classic French vinaigrette dressing. I added the dressing to a simple bowl of mixed greens and it instantly transported me back to a Parisian café.
You can make this easily with your own kitchen ingredients. The one thing you will need that you may or may not have is dijon mustard. I love the one at Trader Joe’s and it is only $2. It’s a great staple to have on hand for multiple recipes.
You can make it in a bowl with a whisk and you can also make it in an old Bonne Maman jar. This is great for storage to keep in the fridge if you make a little more than you need. This is great to have on hand to throw on mixed greens.
What You Need:
The salad works perfectly as a nice addition to any meal. I always love having mixed greens with dinner. It’s a grocery staple.
French Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 4 T olive oil extra virgin
- 3 T red wine vinegar
- 1 t dijon mustard
- salt
- pepper
Preparation
- add in mustard, vinegar, oil and a dash of salt and pepper into a bowl or jar. Mix with whisk or shake until mixed. Taste and add accordingly. Some people prefer a dressing to be heavier on the oil and others prefer it to be more balanced or acidic based. A healthier version would have less oil. It's up to your personal preference.
