Classic Red Wine Vinaigrette
Classic Red Wine Vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part Red Wine vinegar but you can adjust the ratio to your taste. The vinaigrette is one of the most widely used of all the sauces, both in household and commercial kitchens. Its unique combination of spices, fat, aromatic tastes, and acid has a unique taste over a dish.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
- Combine the red wine vinegar, mustard, and salt in a blender or bowl.
- While you are whisking or blending add the oil in a small stream until the oil is mixed very well and becomes a thick uniform sauce. If you add the oil all at once, it will separate quickly. By whisking in the oil or putting it in a thin stream into a running blender, you can emulsify your vinaigrette. The more you whisk or mix the thicker it becomes.
- Serve with your favourite salad and Enjoy!!
Notes
If you like to make big batch you simply need to scale up the quantity. For e.g.
- 1/4 cup or 2-ounce red wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup or 6 ounces oil (canola, olive oil or any other oil of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
