Instructions
  1. To make this the real French way, mince the shallot and place into the salad bowl you’ll be using or in a separate smaller bowl. Add the vinegar, salt and pepper Let stand 5-10 minutes for the shallot to soften and the flavors to develop.
  2. Stir in the mustard and optional mayonnaise until smooth. Drizzle in the oil as you whisk, or add 1 tablespoon at a time and whisk well after each addition. This will help emulsify the liquids so the dressing becomes thick and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust ingredients as desired.
  4. Stir in the herbs right before serving.
