Niçoise Salad Dressing

This & That
Written By Sally Uhlmann

A Niçoise salad dressing is a classic Provençal vinaigrette built on fruity extra virgin olive oil and sharp red wine vinegar or lemon juice. Dijon mustard addes subtle heat and tang, garlic provides pungent aromatics, and finely chopped fresh herbs contribute bright, grassy notes. The result is simple but vibrant, capturing the bold, sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean coast.
