Vinaigrette Mamy Gisele
Spring is here and in the garden, salads are growing still, through the March showers, hail and sun. Salads of all kinds can be composed. Mesclun, tomatoes, radichio, endives... no matter what kind of salads you are making you need to have a good homemade dressing. Forget those expensive, fattening, sugary store-bought dressings. You can make a tasteful homemade dressing at a fraction of the cost in the store. Here is my mom's standard recipe.
Ingredients :
1 Tbsp Grey Poupon mustard
salt and pepper
1 clove of minced garlic
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or any other flavored vinegar
3/4 cup oil, peanut and olive oil are good
Mix that dressing in a bowl in the order given. Pour over or mix with salad at the last minute so the dressing does not burn the greens. You can add a chopped hard boiled egg, parmesan, or anchovies for a different flavor. This will make enough dressing for a salad for 8 persons.
