Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced shallot
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine white wine vinegar, minced shallot, and finely chopped fresh tarragon. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in a teaspoon of whole grain mustard.
  3. Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil in a steady, thin stream while continuously whisking.
  4. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  5. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake well before using if stored.

  • Substitute Dijon mustard for whole grain mustard for a milder flavor.
  • Store leftover vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to a week; it will thicken slightly.
