A very easy French Dressing with a few twists. This is a make ahead recipe wth a yield of about 250 mls or 1/2 pint; it keeps for about 7 to 10 days with no problems at all. I have stated dried herbs & seasonings - you can use fresh herbs & seasonings too, but this decreases the keeping time slightly. The oil content in this is considerably lower than most classic French dressings - making it a healthier option, and you know what has gone into it too.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 2 teaspoons dried shallot granules/powder or 2 teaspoons dried onion granules/powder
- 2 teaspoons dried garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon sugar or 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Note
I have stated dried herbs & seasonings - you can use fresh herbs & seasonings too, but this decreases the keeping time slightly
Directions
Step 1 | Select a clean bottle preferably with a lip OR, as I often do, a clean jam jar. |
Step 2 | Carefully measure all the ingredients into the bottle or the jam jar. |
Step 3 | Give it all a good shake - making sure the lid is on securely! |
Step 4 | Store in a cool and dark place. |
Step 5 | Note: I do store this in the fridge when it is really hot. It is also great to drizzle over roasted vegetables or to add to potato salad. |
