Any vinaigrette will work will in this salad but here’s one of my favorites!
In a jar with a lid add:
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup good quality olive oil
Shake to emulsify. This will keep in the fridge up to a week.
