Classic Red Wine Vinaigrette
With a simple understanding of how to make a vinaigrette you’ll never want to buy a bottled salad dressing again! The classic vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part acid (vinegar, lemon juice, etc.). This recipe is 2 parts oil to 1 part acid as my preference is for salad dressings on the tart side. The mustard not only adds flavor, it also acts as an emulsifying agent to bind together the oil and the vinegar.
