Preparation Time
Ingredients
- ½ cup red or white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Spice Depot Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon ground Spice Depot Black Peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1½ cups good quality olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or Dried Organic Herb
Methodology
In small bowl, combine all ingredients except the herbs and whisk briskly. Add herbs and whisk again. Chill before serving.
The classic vinaigrette is a place to start and experiment with different herbs and flavored vinegars. Try it without the mustard, and substitute olive for grapeseed or nut oils.
Use the vinaigrette as a base for marinades as well, adding herbs and spices to best suit the meat, seafood or vegetable.
