Steps
Steps
- 1Put the shallot in a bowl with the vinegar and salt and leave for 10 minutes. The vinegar softens the raw shallot, and the salt dissolves in it — it never will in the oil.
- 2Whisk in the mustard until smooth.
- 3Add the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly, until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy. Season with black pepper.
- 4Taste and adjust: on its own it should taste a little too sharp, because salad leaves soften it. It keeps for a week in a jar in the fridge; shake before using.
