French salad dressing
This recipe for salad dressing was given to me by my mum, and she's French, so I can vouch for its authenticity!
For 100g of salad leaves (2-4 people)1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
A dash of freshly ground black pepper
Measure the above straight into a salad bowl and stir until the ingredients have combined, or mix multiples of the above quantities and funnel into a clean bottle to store in the fridge (the ingredients naturally separate so you'll need to give it a shake before use).
Feel free to play around with variants of these ingredients; balsamic vinegar works well.
I heard a good taste-test trick is to dip a leaf of your salad into the dressing and try it, rather than just stick your finger in the bowl.
