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.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Wonderful...creamy, delicious and fast. I used my immersion blender and it makes it so creamy. Also I made a batch with the vinegar and then a batch with all lemon juice...and I think I prefer it with lemon juice. Yum.....Ina is my favorite chef of all time...

My new favorite salad dressing. Perfect for spring mix. I have used the egg yolk both times I made it (Eggland's Best. Makes me nervous, but when I think about all of the raw cookie dough I have eaten in my lifetime and never gotten sick....
