  • While continuing to whisk, gradually stream in the olive oil until all of the ingredients are completely combined. You can also use a jar with a tight-fitting lid to just shake together all of the ingredients. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Notes

Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. This makes it easy to shake up the ingredients when you're ready to enjoy it again, since the oil and vinegar will naturally separate as the dressing settles. Store the jar of vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you omit the lemon juice, you can store this vinaigrette at room temperature for several weeks.
