Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine all ingredients except shallot in a blender, and turn the machine on. A creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste, and add more vinegar if necessary, about a teaspoon at a time, until the balance tastes right.

  2. Step 2

    Add shallot, and turn machine on and off a few times, until shallot is minced within the dressing. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. (This vinaigrette is best made fresh but will keep refrigerated for a few days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature, and whisk briefly.)

Love this. I use about a tbsp of anchovy paste from a tube. When I want it creamy, I add an egg yolk and whisk as to not make a mayo. Served on romaine lettuce with asparagus and shaved Parm. Spring!

Used 5 anchovies, and several teaspoons of white wine vinegar (I like acidity in dressing to punch.) I finished a jar of Dijon mustard in making this, and I poured the dressing from blender into empty jar and it filled to the top. Serving in a grain salad.
