Lemon-Garlic-Chive Vinaigrette

Here’s tasty salad dressing from Julia.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise  
  • 1 tablespoon molasses  
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard  
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest  
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives  
  • 1 garlic clove  finely minced 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt  
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice  
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil  
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 

Directions:

  1. Combine mayonnaise, molasses, mustard, lemon zest, chives, garlic, and salt in 2-cup jar with tight-fitting lid. 
  2. Stir with fork until mixture is milky in appearance and no lumps of mayonnaise or molasses remain. Add lemon juice, seal jar, and shake until smooth, about 10 seconds.
  3. Add ¼ cup olive oil, seal jar, and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined, about 10 seconds. 
  4. Repeat, adding remaining ¼ cup olive oil and vegetable oil in 2 additions, shaking vigorously until thoroughly combined after each addition. 
  5. After third addition, vinaigrette should be glossy and lightly thickened, with no pools of oil on its surface.
  6. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. 
  7. Shake briefly before using.

Instead of putting it in a jar with a lid, I used my immersion blender and I liked the results.
