Vinaigrette

Although not to everyone’s taste, a good tossed salad can add a creative, fun element to many a meal.

Ingredients

½ lemon

Good quality grainy mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

1-2 Tablespoons vinegar of choice

3 or  more Tablespoons olive oil

Place one spoonful mustard into your salad bowl. Juice the lemon on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1-2 Tablespoons vinegar and then 3 or more Tablespoons olive oil, according to your taste preferences. Whisk until combined. Shortly before serving, add lettuce greens and toss.

If you’re enough of a pervert to understand the above quote, you must also understand that vinegar and mustard are really not what you want for that purpose. See instead, for example, crème brûlée, or possibly Omelette au Cointreau.
