ALMOST-EMPTY DIJON MUSTARD JAR VINAIGRETTE SALAD DRESSING
When your jar of Dijon mustard is pretty much at the end of the road, you can mix this dressing in the same jar. I approximated the amount of Dijon mustard for when you have a full jar, but basically you use the amount that is clinging to the bottom and sides of your almost empty jar! Simple and classic, this can be made and either served immediately or kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. When

SWEET ONION CHAMPAGNE VINAIGRETTE W DIJON MUSTARD
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the onion on a baking pan drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast until the onion is nice and browned. Remove from oven and let cool
- 2. Place the onion in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Process until well incorporated
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh herbs, good quality mustard, and extra virgin olive oil. This will greatly enhance the flavor of your vinaigrette.
- Adjust the ratio of oil to vinegar: The classic ratio is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, but you can adjust this to suit your taste. If you prefer a tangier vinaigrette, add more vinegar. If you prefer a milder vinaigrette, add more oil.
- Add some sweetness: A little bit of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. This is especially nice if you are using a particularly sharp vinegar.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a lot of flavor to your vinaigrette. Some good options include basil, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
- Experiment with different vinegars: There are many different types of vinegar that you can use in your vinaigrette, such as balsamic vinegar, champagne vinegar, white wine vinegar, and red wine vinegar. Each type of vinegar has its own unique flavor, so experiment to find one that you like.
