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.
Note: If you're worried about raw egg, just omit it.

Great, but it needs just a little more vinegar, or add in a bit of fresh lemon juice, or both... as the tang was too mild. Also, use a tablespoon of mayo if you don't want to use a raw egg. It'll give it a creamy texture. Very good!

I love this recipe! I made a few changes to the vinaigrette according to the ingredients I had at hand. I changed the salad completely though... I used Romaine lettuce, cherry tomato halves, raisins, and walnuts. Delish!

Ina has done it again! I just love this easy, simple vinaigrette! I followed the receipe exact,and, I will be making this again! I was lucky enough to have a head of leaf lettuce from my spring garden and made this delicious dressing for it. It just doesn't get any fresher than that. Going and picking your lettuce, then topping it with a fresh simple easy delcious receipe like this! Thanks again!
