Last Minute Vinaigrette
From: The Saucy Cook
BY MARY JO SPIEGEL
This classic French balsamic vinaigrette is so easy it makes going to the store and buying salad dressing seem rediculous. By changing the type of mustard, vinegar or oil, you can create nearly endless variations. Add a little gourmet honey, change the herbs, season with salt and pepper. After you make this, try my other favorite version swapping honey mustard for Dijon and raspberry vinegar for balsamic.
Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon gourmet Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic , pressed through a garlic press
1 tsp gourmet raw honey (optional)
Method:
Put balsamic, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil and pressed garlic in a tightly capped container or jar. Shake together until emulsified. Toss with salad. Will also make a great meat or vegetable marinade. Makes about 4 servings.
