RED WINE VINAIGRETTE
Servings
Makes 2/3 cup dressing
Total time
10
minutesThis vinaigrette is a take on Julia Child’s classic vinaigrette with its very low acid to oil ratio. Julia did not employ the ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part acid in her vinaigrette. She preferred to leave the acidity low and the decision to add more acid to the cook. You can always add more acid, but you can’t take it away!
