Name: The Secret Ingredient (Dijon Mustard): Simple Vinaigrette Recipe
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar; Kosher salt; Freshly cracked black pepper; Extra virgin olive oil

You can be as fancy as you like in the kitchen, but if you don't know the basics, you'll never get anywhere.  And one basic I have been working on for a long time is the perfect basic vinaigrette.  I've written a million and one times about the restaurant Le Relais de l'Entrecôte in Paris, which now has an outpost (as yet untested by me!) in New York.  It's a steak frites place, but they bring you this amazing green salad with mustard dressing and walnuts to start, and it was that dressing I was dying to emulate.

The Secret Ingredient (Dijon Mustard): Simple Vinaigrette Recipe

Dijon mustard

white wine vinegar

Kosher salt

black pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

In the bottom of a large salad serving bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper with a small whisk until the mixture is completely homogenous.  If you don't have a whisk, use a fork.  Add the olive oil, and whisk again until completely homogenous and emulsified.  Tumble enough salad for four people on top, and toss gently to dress.
