Honey Vinaigrette
Sauces and Marinades • French
Description
Vinaigrette is often made with Dijon or whole grain mustard. To tone down its sharpness, honey or sugar is added to balance the heat. A touch of crushed garlic or shallots can also be included for extra spice. The bland taste of starchy ingredients in the salad—such as beans, pumpkin, and potatoes—is elevated to a confident crescendo by the honey vinaigrette. It also pairs well in a classic garden salad, alongside leafy greens, onions, and hard-boiled eggs.
