French Dijon and Garlic Vinaigrette is simple enough for even a novice cook to make.

It can be used, not only to dress salads, but also as a marinade or even a dipping sauce for a multitude of recipes.

But what I love about his recipe is that it comes together quick and easy. Better still, make a larger batch and use it over the course of a couple of days to a week.

Just store the vinaigrette in a sealed container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.

How to Make French Dijon and Garlic Vinaigrette

The basic ingredients for this recipe are extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar (although you could use champagne or white wine vinegar, if you’d like), finely chopped shallots (optional), minced garlic (not optional) and dijon mustard.

Then whisk well and serve.

This dressing is light and not overpowering. It offers a rich taste that has layers of flavor.

And, as mentioned above, you can use this vinaigrette for salads or as a marinade. It’s also delicious over cooked vegetables like asparagus, cooked broccoli or summer squash. Enjoy!
