Mustard Vinaigrette Ingredients:
1/4 cups shallots, peeled and sliced 1/2 cup white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 3/4 cup olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper Directions:
Place the shallots into a medium-size bowl and add the vinegar. The vinegar marinates and tenderizes the shallots, giving the vinaigrette a light, distinctive flavor. Allow to sit for about 2 hours at room temperature. Whisk in the mustard, then add the oil in a slow, steady stream as you continue to whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
