Yield 4

Ingredients

  • 1 clove of garlic, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 6 tablespoons oil (vegetable, extra-virgin olive, almond, hazelnut, etc.)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly-ground pepper to taste
  • Herbs to taste

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix garlic, salt, mustard, and vinegar until smooth.
  2. 2
    Add oil and mix until smooth.
  3. 3
    Add pepper and herbs to taste.
  4. 4
    Let stand; the longer the herbs and mustard soak in the oil, the better-blended the flavor will be. You may need to quickly remix the vinaigrette just before dressing the salad if the oil and vinegar have separated while standing.
