VIDEO: Making a vinaigrette
 
Making a vinaigrette + VIDEO

• The standard proportion for a vinaigrette is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. This is just a guideline.  Always start out with less oil and taste before adding more.
• Basic tools: large mixing bowl and whisk OR jar with a tight lid.
• Using the Spiced Moroccan Vinaigrette from the menu as an example:
• In your mixing bowl: add 1 clove garlic, minced, 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon mild curry powder, 2 teaspoons honey and ¼ champagne vinegar.
• Whisk all that together.
• Then slowly pour in the oil while you are whisking to emulsify the oil and vinegar. 
• Start with ½ cup olive oil. Then taste it. Add more to your liking, up to ¾ cup. 
• Oil and vinegar will always separate so you will need to whisk or shake leftovers again.
