I make this style dressing alot. It's great with the addition of fresh rosemary and diced garlic.

My first attempt at making dressing from scratch. I liked it however next time I'd leave out the canola oil, add a bit more olive oil. And while I love the sharp tang of vinegar, I'd also add some honey for a bit of balance. Overall, great, easy recipe.

Great recipe! I was trying to find a recipe similar to my grandmother's. I bought a pestle and mortar specifically to make her recipe and realized I had bought Dijon, but it should have been Grey Poupon. I think that does make a difference because this dressing is almost as good, but not quite the same. I ground minced garlic (store-bought), salt and pepper in the mortar, added the rest of ingredients, and whisked. Also, I topped with sliced olives. Very good!! Thank you!

This dressing gets better & better the longer it sits in the fridge. We have used it on regular lettuce salads & added blue cheese or parmessan cheese. Yummy!

Great base recipe with a beautiful pink color. I like the ratio of vinegar, olive oil and vegetable oil. I prefer a bit of a vinegar punch. I add a honey mustard to sweeten it up a bit, a little more than a pinch of garlic and onion salt and then I crack fresh pepper over the salad at serving time to taste.

I used this salad dressing over coldcorkscrew pasta, Black olive slices, crumbled feta cheese, diced red and green olives. Yoiu can also add diced celery, brocolli florets, cherry tomatoes, whatever you like. It goes so fast that you need to make another batch right away! :-)

Yummy! The name does not do it justice - maybe Dijon Vinaigrette would be better :D My French roommates in college used this to marinate cucumber slices in for a refreshing side/salad. I've been looking for the recipe for many years. Thanks for helping out! Oh, made it the other night with cucumber slices but added large chunks of fresh tomato for variety and color. Even the kids liked it so it lasted only one day after that dinner. The red wine vinegar I used was zingy so you could try 2/3 oil and 1/3 vinegar, if you like. Thanks for the memories that will repeat themselves in the future!
