Method

  1. Add the diced shallot and chopped flat-leaf parsley to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid along with the Dijon mustard, honey, red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil.
  2. Seal the lid and shake until you have a creamy emulsified vinaigrette.

Tip: Swap the parsley for tarragon or chives and toss through a chicken salad. Add a spoonful of chopped capers and swap the Dijon mustard for wholegrain and drizzle over smoked salmon or steamed fish.
