Note

Storage: Store leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The oil may solidify when cold; let it come to room temperature and whisk vigorously before using again.

Substitutions: You can substitute the vegetable oil with olive oil for a fruitier flavor, or use apple cider vinegar instead of white-wine vinegar for a milder acidity.

Tips: For a finer texture, strain the vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve after emulsifying to remove any mustard seeds or dill stems.

Yield: This recipe makes approximately 1/2 cup of dressing.
