Perfect Vinaigrette
loading...
X
This classic sauce is perfect on a green salad, yes, but it has many other uses in the kitchen. Vinaigrette makes a great marinade for roasted, broiled, or grilled chicken or fish. You can use it as a dipping sauce for crudités or chicken wings. It can replace mayo as a flavorful binder for tuna, potato, chicken, and shrimp salads. Vinaigrette also makes a great sauce for cooked fish or meats.
To get oil and vinegar to emulsify, you must agitate them via shaking or whisking. We like to shake the vinaigrette in a small Mason jar with a lid or a clean jelly jar. As for whisking, our testing has shown that a side-to-side motion is the most efficient stroke.
The vinaigrette will come together more readily with the addition of emulsifying boosters (or surfactants: ingredients that contain molecules that essentially act as chemical magnets to help the oil and vinegar hold together) such as honey, molasses, mayonnaise, and mustard.

Ingredients
- To get oil and vinegar to emulsify, you must agitate them via shaking or whisking. We like to shake the vinaigrette in a small Mason jar with a lid or a clean jelly jar. As for whisking, our testing has shown that a side-to-side motion is the most efficient stroke.
- The vinaigrette will come together more readily with the addition of emulsifying boosters (or surfactants: ingredients that contain molecules that essentially act as chemical magnets to help the oil and vinegar hold together) such as honey, molasses, mayonnaise, and mustard.
- The vinaigrette will keep for three days in the refrigerator. Shake well before using. If you prefer, you can whisk the vinaigrette together in a bowl and skip the jar. This recipe makes enough to dress 8 cups of greens.
