Most vinaigrette dressings have oil as their main ingredient. This one has only just enough to hold everything together. It has a more distinct flavor than many of the Balsamic dressings sold commercially, possibly because of the lemon juice and the mustard.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (22 g) Dijon mustard
1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

Preparation

In a mixing jar, combine the mustard, vinegar, water, lemon juice, black pepper, tarragon, and garlic. Shake well to combine. Add oil and shake again. Chill before serving.
