This recipe uses the most straightforward method ever invented for getting perfectly emulsified vinaigrette. The secret is a touch of Dijon that, when shaken, keeps the oil and vinegar mixed. That's the signature of this excellent salad dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups​ olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Optional: 1/2 clove crushed garlic

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine all ingredients in a glass jar with a screw-on lid.

  2. Tighten the lid and shake vigorously for 1 minute before serving.
