This recipe is from my cookbook "Cooking Thin with Chef Kathleen" written by Chef Kathleen Daelemans. It really is the world's best vinaigrette dressing. I love this on green salads or pasta salads.

How To Make world's best vinaigrette

Step 1

Place garlic, shallot, vinegar and salt in a smal bowl and let stand for at least 30 minutes. This will take the peppery bite out of the garlic and shallot.

Step 2

Whisk in mustard, oil and herbs.
Step 3

Add pepper to taste.
Step 4

This is also wonderful as a marinade and served as a dipping sauce for chicken.
