If using a strong French Dijon mustard, such as Amora, reduce the amount of mustard from 2 tablespoons to 1 tablespoon. Taste and adjust if needed. I found the Amira mustard overpowered the dressing.

I used 1 tbsp strong Dijon and 1 tbsp mild rough cut Dijon and it turned out well. I used a full cup of oil and added a squirt of agave syrup to balance the mustard/vinegar.

Delicious-stayed emulsified! I usually use EVOO for salad dressing but used canola, dried shallots & granulated garlic (the last 2 because I was in a hurry)-and it still came out delicious! Next time I will try with fresh garlic & shallot.

I left out the shallot and doubled the garlic to make up for it, then I used EVOO instead of other oils. Pretty tasty!

I really loved this. I used Edmond Fallot’s walnut Dijon.
