By Danilo Alfaro, About.com

Mustard Vinaigrette Recipe

This mustard vinaigrette recipe is one of the simplest variations on the basic vinaigrette formula and a delicious salad dressing in its own right.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups salad oil (see note)
  • ½ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground white pepper (or freshly ground black pepper)

Preparation:

  1. Combine the mustard and vinegar in a glass or stainless steel bowl and whisk them together briefly.

  2. Place the mustard-vinegar mixture along with the oil and seasonings in a blender and mix for about 10 seconds or until fully combined.

  3. Serve right away, as the oil and vinegar will begin to separate as soon as you stop mixing.
Makes 1 pint of dressing.

NOTE: Any oil labeled "vegetable oil" or "salad oil" is fine for this basic recipe. You can also use any light, neutral-flavored oil like safflower, canola or soybean oil.
