Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Measure the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper into a blender, medium bowl, or a jar.
  2. If you’re using a blender, start it running and slowly drizzle in the oil (this method tends to stay emulsified and stable for the longest). 
    If you’re using a bowl, get out your whisk. Put the bowl on a kitchen hand towel so that it’s less likely to move around. Start whisking the vinegar and then very slowly drizzle in the oil. 
    If you’re using a jar, pour the oil into the jar and put the lid on. Shake it lots.
