Basic Vinaigrette With Variations

Directions

1. 1
   Whisk the garlic cloves, mustard, vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
2. 2
   While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify.
3. 3
   Taste for salt and pepper.
4. 4
   Variations:
5. 5
   Use any other vinegar you have, including red wine vinegar and balsamic.
6. 6
   Leave out the garlic or add herbs as you like.
7. 7
   Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and/or substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a Greek-like dressing. I would leave out the mustard for this but the dressing will not emulsify as well without it.
