How to Make French Dressing

  1. In a mason jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and sugar.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while vigorously shaking the jar to emulsify the dressing.
  3. Add the egg yolk (if using), and continue shaking until fully incorporated and the dressing is creamy.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step enhances the overall taste and texture.
  5. Serve chilled over your favorite salad greens. Enjoy!
