Basic Vinaigrette
- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tsp minced shallot
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp mayonnaise
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Stir the shallot into the vinegar and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Put the honey, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a tight lid. Add the vinegar and shallot, then the olive oil.
- Seal the jar and shake hard for about 30 seconds, until the dressing is blended and slightly thickened.
- Use right away, or shake again just before serving — it separates as it stands.
Makes about ¼ cup, enough for a big salad. The dressing separates as it stands; shake again before serving.
