SHERRY VINAIGRETTE



Sherry Vinaigrette image

This simple vinaigrette recipe makes a great alternative to store-bought dressings. It's a Good Thing.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup sherry-wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 shallot, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard, and shallots until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a small jar; cover and shake to combine. Refrigerate vinaigrette until ready to use, up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sherry Vinegar: Opt for a high-quality sherry vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years. This will impart a rich, complex flavor to your vinaigrette.
  • Balance the Acidity: Sherry vinegar can be quite acidic, so it's important to balance it out with other ingredients. A good rule of thumb is to use one part vinegar to three parts oil.
  • Add Some Sweetness: A little bit of sweetness can help to round out the flavors of your vinaigrette. You can add honey, sugar, or fruit juice to taste.
  • Emulsify the Vinaigrette: To create a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, emulsify it by whisking it vigorously or shaking it in a jar. This will help to combine the oil and vinegar and prevent them from separating.
  • Let the Vinaigrette Rest: Allowing the vinaigrette to rest for a few minutes before using will allow the flavors to meld and develop. This will result in a more complex and flavorful dressing.

Conclusion:

Sherry vinegar vinaigrette is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and grilled meats. With its rich, complex flavor and tangy acidity, it's sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Experiment with different vinegars, oils, and seasonings to create your own unique vinaigrette that suits your taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dressing, give sherry vinegar vinaigrette a try!
