How to Make Zesty Duo-Mustard Dressing

1. Combine Vinegar and Mustards

Take a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk together the white wine vinegar, whole-grain Dijon mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, and hot-pepper sauce. Add about 0.25 teaspoon of kosher salt and 0.125 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

2. Emulsify the Dressing

Start to add the extra-virgin olive oil gradually while continuously whisking. Pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream, which helps emulsify the dressing, making it creamy and thick.

3. Adjust Seasoning

Once the oil is fully incorporated, taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Before serving, give the dressing another quick whisk to make sure everything is well-mixed.

Pitfalls and tips

Choose Quality Ingredients

Select high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and reputable brands of Dijon and whole grain mustards for a superior flavor profile.

Emulsify for Consistency

Whisk vigorously or use a blender to achieve a smooth, well-emulsified dressing that doesn’t separate.

Season Properly

Use freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Proper seasoning enhances the dressing's overall flavor.

Balance the Acidity

Begin with the recommended amount of apple cider vinegar and adjust to taste. Experiment with different vinegars for unique flavor nuances.

Perfect the Sweetness

Start with a smaller quantity of honey and incrementally add more to balance the dressing's acidity and heat to your liking.
