A basic Dijon vinaigrette, like this one, can be used for up to three weeks after making.

What You Need: Shakable dressing container, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, Kosher salt, freshly-ground pepper, tablespoon, teaspoon

Follow These Six Easy Steps

1. Find and clean a reusable container

If you don’t have a traditional dressing shaker, a mason jar or a peanut butter jar work just as well.

6. Shake to combine

Serve or refrigerate.

Aha! The olive oil will solidify, so be sure to set the dressing out at room temperature about an hour before you want to serve it or run the container under hot water.
