The Perfect Vinaigrette

The perfect vinaigrette has the following ingredients:

• Salt

• Pepper

• Dijon mustard

• Red wine vinegar

• Olive oil (or sunflower oil)

The proportions of each of the above ingredients are very important. For a typical salad add the following ingredients into a salad bowl;

1. pinch of salt and pepper

2. flat teaspoon of Dijon mustard

3. two thirds full dessert spoon of red wine vinegar

4. mix the above

5. then add 2 dessert spoons of oil and mix

The vinaigrette should be mixed in the salad bowl prior to adding the salad, however, the salad should be turned in the bowl just prior to serving.
