  • 1 to 2 tablespoons excellent wine vinegar, or a combination of vinegar and lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil
  • Big pinch of fresh ground pepper

Optional: ½ tablespoon minced shallots or scallions and/or ¼ teaspoon dried herbs, such as tarragon or basil

Beat the vinegar, salt, and mustard in a bowl until dissolved, then beat in the oil and season with the pepper and herbs, or place all ingredients in a screw-top jar and shakes vigorously for 30 seconds to blend thoroughly. Taste carefully for seasoning.
