Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Whisk shallot, vinegar, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl until the Dijon is completely broken down and incorporated into the liquids.
Gradually whisk in oil in a slow steady stream while constantly whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Drizzle over salad or add greens directly to the bowl. Use immediately or transfer to a jar and keep refrigerated up to 1 week. Whisk again before using.

Notes

This recipe makes enough for about 20 cups of loosely packed greens or less for a more generously dressed salad.

Make Ahead: To use a refrigerated vinaigrette that has become solid, place the jar in a bowl of warm tap water to bring it to room temperature. You may need to replace the water once or twice to keep it warm enough. Once the dressing is melted, shake it vigorously in the jar before drizzling it over the salad.
