The Story

A house vinaigrette should be simple enough to memorize. Once you know the balance by taste, you stop needing a recipe and start dressing salad like a cook.

1

Whisk the acids and any mustard together in a medium bowl until smooth.

2

Stream in the oils slowly while whisking until the dressing is glossy and lightly thickened.

If it tightens too much, loosen with 1 tablespoon cold water.

3

Season, taste, and adjust the balance so the dressing lands bright but not harsh.

4

Refrigerate in a jar and shake well before serving.

Jason's Notes

This is the everyday French bistro dressing. Mustard gives it grip, vinegar gives it shape, and the oil rounds it out without making it dull.
