If using a strong French Dijon mustard, such as Amora, reduce the amount of mustard from 2 tablespoons to 1 tablespoon. Taste and adjust if needed. I found the Amira mustard overpowered the dressing.
I used 1 tbsp strong Dijon and 1 tbsp mild rough cut Dijon and it turned out well. I used a full cup of oil and added a squirt of agave syrup to balance the mustard/vinegar.
I left out the shallot and doubled the garlic to make up for it, then I used EVOO instead of other oils. Pretty tasty!
I really loved this. I used Edmond Fallot’s walnut Dijon.
