Basic Vinaigrette
This simple vinaigrette is perfect over a salad of mixed greens and fresh vegetables. Substituting 1½ teaspoons (7 mL) of herbes de Provence for the combined basil, thyme and marjoram is an easy way to change it up a bit, and saves on the amount of dried herbs you need to have on hand.
Servings
Makes about 1 cup (250 mL)
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) Dijon-style mustard
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon (2 mL) dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon (2 mL) dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 mL) dried tarragon
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 mL) ground white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon (2 mL) kosher salt
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Put the vinegar, mustard, parsley, spices and salt into blender jar. Blend on speed 1 until combined, and parsley is finely chopped, about 10 seconds (stopping to scrape down the sides of the jar as necessary).
  2. Once the mixture is combined, carefully remove the measuring cup from the cover of the blender. Blend on speed 1 and slowly add the oil through the lid opening. The process should take about 2½ minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
