Ingredients

for the vinaigrette

250mlextra virgin olive oil

65mlred wine vinegar

1 heaped tspwholegrain or dijon mustard

1.5 tsphoney

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vinaigrette is a basic french dressing of primarily vinegar and oil. We've also added wholegrain mustard and honey here, but use this recipe as a foundation and add whatever you like! For example, if you'd like an Asian-inspired dressing, swap out these ingredients for soy sauce, sesame oil, or rice vinegar. Once you know how to make vinaigrette you have a canvas for all sorts of flavours. Go wild!

Method

Whisk all of the ingredients together thoroughly, either using a fork or a small whisk. You can also do this with an immersion blender to emulsify the vinaigrette if you want a thick dressing.

Taste, and adjust for seasoning as necessary. If you have one spare, dunk a lettuce leaf into the vinaigrette to taste.

Serve however you like, and enjoy!
