The 3-Ingredient Sauce That Will Change the Way You Cook

I make vinaigrettes every day — seriously. I change them up with different vinegars and different oils, and add some sweeteners like honey now and again. Sometimes I replace about half of the vinegar with citrus juice. As a corporate caterer who makes a billion lunches, classic oil-vinegar-salt-and-pepper vinaigrettes sometimes just get boring — trust me. Which is why I reach for this sauce when I want to something new and different to add to salads, pastas, and every cooked meat.

Ingredients

  • 3 parts brown butter
  • 1 part vinegar or citrus juice or a combo
  • 1 part strong Dijon mustard
  • A small handful of flat leaf parsley (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Add everything to a food processor and blitz until just smooth. You can also mix this up with an immersion blender. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to one day. Blend again before using.
