Ingredients

3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 extra-large egg yolk*, at room temperature (see Note)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
Salad greens or mesclun mix for 6 to 8 people

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Toss the greens with enough dressing to moisten and serve immediately.

I've made this dressing many times, very delicious. It is very simple to do. I prefer it over store bought! Thanks Ina!

Perfectly Balanced
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! The dressing is light, gently coats the greens, and does not distract from other... dishes in the meal. A keeper recipe for sure.Read more

INSANE... in a good way!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So simple, and yet so delicious... I didn't have any champagne vinegar on hand, but I had white balsamic vinegar, and came... out FABULOUS. I definitely recommend braving the raw egg - it gives such richness. I combined the salt and minced garlic to make a paste before adding them and ended up with a very smooth dressing (no clumps of garlic). Read more

Tasty and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I also used distilled white vinegar instead of Champagne vinegar and found that the dressing had too much bit to it. But I... added 2 tablespoons of sour cream to cut the bit and add more creaminess to dressing and it work great. I would also suggest adding the sour cream if you don?t what to use the raw egg yolk.Read more

Delicious & Simple
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this dressing and served it with a spring mix of greens to accompany Ina's Beef Bourguignon recipe. Very very nice... dressing! Simple, clean, elegant flavors. Everyone raved. I was worried about using the raw egg but I did use it and it was fine. The consistency was thinner than I expected but very tasty and clinged nicely to the greens. A quick easy, dressing to make with ingredients you probably have on hand in your pantry.Read more

Amazing Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the most flavorful vinaigrette I have ever tasted. It's got the perfect amount of heat from the dijon, but still has... many subtle flavors. It's so versatile too. It can go on anything from a green salad, to potatoes.Read more
