Main Ingredient	Extra virgin olive oil
Other Ingredient	Wine vinegar
Number of People	4
List of Ingredients	1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 3 T or more good wine vinegar salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 heaping tsp. Dijon mustard 1 large shallot (about 1 oz.) peeled and cut into small chunks
Description	Combine all ingredients except the shallot in a blender and turn on; a creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste and add more vinegar, a tsp. or two at a time, until the balance tastes right to you. Add the shallot and turn blender on and off a few times until the shallot is minced within the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.
Time	10 minutes
Cooking Type	Toss
Difficulty (1-5)	1
Notes	Best served fresh, but will keep in refrigerator for a few days; bring back to room temperature and whisk briefly before using. I used a little less oil and a little more vinegar (red balsamic). Can add any fresh or dried herb; fresh by the tsp. and dried by the pinch. Can also substitute lemon juice for the vinegar, but probably will need a little more.
