Recipe Introduction


I’ve made a couple of adjustments to the original recipe to make it more to our taste. We found we needed to up the acidic/salty elements. I don’t think a teaspoon or so of Dijon would go amiss here. Also, he calls for the classic mixing method (shallots and vinegar in a bowl with the oils streamed and whisked in); I just put everything in my salad dressing mixer/dispenser and went to town.
