    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!

    This was really fantastic! I used the egg, and the champagne vinegar but added a bit more mustard because I was making this to go with baby field greens, roasted red beets and a bit of crumbled goat cheese. I wanted more mustard flavor so I added some whole grain mustard (about a half teaspoon and it was amazing against the sweetness of the roasted beets, the creaminess of the goat cheese and bitterness of the field greens! Good stuff!!

    This is amazing Ina!! I made it without the egg, and used white wine vinegar instead, since that's what I had, and it is excellent!! I would rate it a 10 if I could!lol

    Surprisingly, we thought this dressing was a bit blah. Didn't add the egg, but other than that, followed the recipe.

    We are huge fans of simple homemade dressings (don't like bottled at all! and thought this one would be great. We were disappointed.

    I will make it again to see if we feel any differently.

    I made this last night and it was really good. I didn't have champagne vinegar, so I used plain white vinegar. I will definitely go to the grocery store tomorrow and get the champagne vinegar so that I can make it correctly next time. Ina's recipes are always excellent!

    I just made this with Ina's Mac & Cheese. The simplicity of the salad works perfectly with a rich dish. I added a touch of honey but otherwise it was perfect! Will make again & again.

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