Ingredients

4 servings

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, (finely minced)
1 tbsp finely minced shallot, (from 1 small shallot)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1½ tsp sugar
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, garlic, shallot, salt, freshly ground black pepper, sugar and balsamic vinegar. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in the oil to create an emulsion; the dressing should be slightly thickened and emulsified when all the oil is added. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Store the vinaigrette in a jar at room temperature for up to 4 days. Shake to re-emulsify when ready to use.
