Golden French Dressing
Bright, tangy, and perfectly golden, this simple vinaigrette instantly elevates a bowl of crisp greens. Olive oil blends with white vinegar and fresh lemon juice for a sharp, acidic base, while ground mustard and paprika add a subtle warmth. You'll love how quickly it emulsifies when shaken in a jar. Keep a batch in the fridge to dress your favorite salads or use it as a quick marinade for grilled chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup white or cider vinegar
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- 1Combine the olive oil, white vinegar, fresh lemon juice, salt, ground mustard, and paprika in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until the mixture is completely combined. The ground mustard acts as a natural emulsifier to help the oil and vinegar stay mixed.
Notes
- Storage: Keep the dressing in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Serving: Always shake the jar well right before using to recombine the ingredients.
- Variation: To make a sweet red French dressing, whisk 1/2 cup of the prepared dressing with 1/2 cup of ketchup.
