Ingredients
- 2 ounces red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 3/4 cup olive oil
Directions
Place red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic and salt in a glass or metal container with a tight fitting lid and shake to combine. Add olive oil and shake vigorously, until dressing emulsifies and thickens to the consistency of cream.
Let dressing sit for 1 hour at room temperature before straining out garlic and serving. Dressing can be refrigerated, but should be brought to room temperature and shaken again before serving.

This is the best vinaigrette I've ever had. I've tried LOTS of recipes but was always dissapointed. I mean HOW HARD is this??? I was looking here to 'try again' and Alton Brown immediately came to mind. He's the 'go to guy' for me when it comes to recipes. Viola!
I think it needs more salt, but then, I love salt! So taste before adding more. It does need to settle for the hour to round out the flavors. It seemed too vinegary at first so I was skeptical.
When I finally served it with the salad I made for dinner, "Hmmm...now this is good. Another bite, "Wow!" This is REALLY good! Ok, let's dip my left-over pizza crust in this stuff. YUM! Ok folks, "We have a winner!"
Do drain the garlic...I just put in a colander...works great. This is so good on so many different foods. Sprinkle on meats, sandwiches...dipped my pizza crust in it last night - YUM! Try it the original way first then add more herbs if you want to expand.
Thank you Alton, for a winner! I am dying to buy ALL your DVDs...I don't have tv reception so I try to catch your show whenever I can. You're my fave! :
