Red Wine Vinaigrette

This is a variation of our vinaigrette base recipe. This easy and quick red wine vinaigrette is made with a 1:1 ratio of acid (vinegar and lemon juice) to oil, so it's slightly tangier than most other salad dressings. Give it a try and see what you think!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (~2 medium lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (~½ teaspoon)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic in a small bowl.
  • Slowly add the olive oil, whisking continuously.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

Add the oil in a slow and steady stream for the best emulsion. Pause and taste as you go; if the vinaigrette is too tangy, add more oil to taste. 
 
If the vinaigrette is too tangy, add a little honey, agave, or maple syrup to taste. 
 
Use fresh garlic over pre-chopped. It makes a huge flavor difference!
