Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon shallot, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a wide mouth mason jar or Weck jar and blend with a stick blender until smooth. You can also use a stand blender to blend the dressing. Or you can simply whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, but there will be pieces of shallot in the dressing. This dressing is best if blended so the shallot is blended and the dressing is emulsified well which will make it a thicker and creamier dressing.
