Classic French Salad Dressing Recipe | |
French Dressing | |
|
Ingredients:
1 T vinegar (of choice)3 T olive oil - good quality 1 t Dijon mustard chopped chives (optional) finely minced onion (optional) garlic (1-2 cloves) salt and pepper to taster
Directions:
put salt, pepper, mustard (and chives and onions) in bottom of bowl; add vinegar and mix; slowly drizzle in olive oil, stirring constantly. add garlic cloves (cut in half) and let sit overnight in the refridgerator. Remove garlic and bring to room temperature before using in a salad. THIS is a classic French salad dressing. A red dressing does not exist in France, that is an American version of it. You could possibly adapt the above recipe by adding a bit of tomato sauce or paste, but that would be a shame. Try it the way it is, I don't think you will be disappointed.
