Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon or more balsamic or sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon large shallot, cut into chunks

Preparation

Serving Directions:

Combine all the ingredients except the shallot in a blender — or use an immersion blender — and turn the machine on; a creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds.

Taste and add vinegar a teaspoon or two at a time until the balance tastes right to you.

Add the shallot and turn the machine on and off a few times until the shallot is minced within the dressing.

If the mixture is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until the consistency is right.

Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.

This will keep, refrigerated, for a few days; bring it back to room temperature and whisk briefly before using.
