French Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette

By Andrew Zimmern

Famed French chef Pierre Gagnaire taught me how to make his grandmother’s classic mustard vinaigrette while I was filming an episode of Bizarre Foods in his Paris restaurant. Make a big batch of the dressing base without cream and store it in the fridge to prolong its shelf life, adding cream as you need it. It’s great on a frisee salad or pour it over chicken as it comes off the grill—it’ll change your cooking life.
