Basic Vinaigrette
A basic, flavorful fresh dressing for salads.
Ingredients
- 1-2 whole shallots
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2-3 sprigs thyme leaves stripped from stems.
- 2/3 cups vinegar Your choice - red wine, white wine, sherry or balsamic
- 1 large eggs
- 1/2-1 cup neutral oil, like vegetable or grapeseed oil
Instructions
- Add all your ingredients to a blender except for the oil.
- Blend together the ingredients until smooth consistency
- Keep a cup of ice or cold water to adjust the consistency and so the dressing doesn’t over heat and break (separate)
- Slowly add the oil to the vortex of the dressing until it begins to close up. At that point add a touch of water or an ice cube to adjust the consistency and temperature.
- Blend until smooth.
