creamy french dressing

method

Great with green salads and bitter leaves like endive or radicchio.

Put all your ingredients into a jam jar. Shake, taste and season again if needed until your dressing is perfect. You may need to add a little more vinegar or oil to balance it.

all those asking about substitutions for walnut oil - try a spoon or two of walnut vinegar in place of one of the regular vinegars. Maille make one and it's available in most good supermarkets

Excellent, I made it to the letter and my young boys ate all their salad!
My eldest licked the spoon and the mixing jug clean.
A hit. I'll be making this again!!!

Guys from Brazil, it is not so hard to find Oliver's Book here ! Thare are both english and portuguese versions !
Try Saraiva or Cultura and you will find all of them !

Great cooking for all of you !
