Mexican Vinaigrette Recipe

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 T. good wine vinegar, or more to taste

1 T. chili powder

2 T. Mexican crema, or mayonnaise

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large shallot, (about 1 ounce) cut into cubes (optional)

 

Combine all the ingredients except the shallot in a blender and turn the machine

on; a creamy

emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste and add more vinegar a teaspoon or

two at a time until

the balance tastes right to you.

 

Add the shallot and turn the blender on and off a few times until the shallot is

minced within the

dressing. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve. (This is best made fresh but

will keep,

refrigerated, for a few days; bring it back to room temperature and whisk

briefly before using).

 

Makes about 3/4 cup

Time: 5 mins

 

AuthorNote: " My everyday dressing almost always includes a bit of mustard which

helps emulsify the

dressing while adding tang. "
