Whisk the acids and any mustard together in a medium bowl until smooth.
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.
Season, taste, and adjust the balance so the dressing lands bright but not harsh.
Refrigerate in a jar and shake well before serving.
Jason's Notes
Walnut oil changes the whole feel of a salad. This dressing is softer and rounder than a house vinaigrette, which makes it perfect with bitter greens or beets.
