Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 8 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small shallot(s)
  • 1 egg yolk, hard-boiled
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • possibly seasonal herbs, e.g. chives, parsley, etc.
  • possibly pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Dissolve salt in white wine vinegar – ideally in a tall container. Dice shallots and sauté in a pan. Then add to the white wine vinegar. Add hard-boiled egg yolk. Add salad oil and mustard and whisk quickly (or use a hand blender if necessary). The mustard and egg yolk ensure the emulsion stays together. Adjust mustard and salad oil to taste; the quantities are guidelines only. If you like, add seasonal herbs (chives, parsley, etc.) and pepper. Tips: You can use the egg whites as a garnish in your salad. If you like, boil two eggs and add both to the salad, leaving one yolk in the vinaigrette.
