A classic vinaigrette for a classy salad. Red wine vinegar, oil, and Dijon mustard give this dressing a fresh tasting zing that you just can't get with store-bought.

  1. Richard REVIEW:

    This dressing is delicious. I didn't have Dijon mustard so I used the only thing I had, which was a spicy brown mustard; it was excellent. Highly recommended.

  2. hillary REVIEW:

    this vinaigrette dressing is so easy and will get raves. it's not as heavy as a balsamic, since you use red wine vinegar. I use 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp ground pepper. And I simply put all the ingredients into the salad dressing jar and shake - easy!
