Classic French Vinaigrette Salad.

Overview

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. good-quality red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. dijon-style mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Recipe / Description

This dressing is traditionally mixed in the bottom of a large salad bowl. After it's made, lettuce is added to the bowl and gently tossed to completely coat the greens, while leaving any excess dressing at the bottom of the bowl.

If using immediately, whisk ingredients together in a large salad bowl and then make the salad in the bowl.

To make ahead, or for smaller salads, either whisk ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup or put ingredients in a jar, cover, and shake to combine. Keep, covered and chilled, up to 1 week.
