Notes
Storage Tips:
Store vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about two weeks. I like to make this in a mason jar and store it in that—then just shake well before using. Expert Tips:
If you like a sweeter salad niçoise dressing, feel free to whisk in a teaspoon of sugar or honey. Make sure to add the oil slowly and carefully—if you dump the oil in all at once, you won’t be able to emulsify this vinaigrette dressing.
