I like to use We Olive’s Pomegranate Champagne Vinegar as a stand in for red wine vinegar because it has the bracing acidity of red wine vinegar, but with greater complexity and depth of flavor. Feel free to substitute a tart wine vinegar here.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon wine vinegar, such as We Olive Pomegranate Champagne Vinegar
3 – 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a small bowl, whisk together the wine vinegar with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil, a little at a time, until the sauce is thick and well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning. If not serving immediately, whisk again just before serving to blend.

Variations:

  • Add a little bit of finely diced garlic or shallot to the vinegar.
  • Replace some of the wine vinegar with lemon or lime juice and add some citrus zest as well.
  • Add a little bit of Dijon mustard or a few drops of hot sauce (Sriracha is my favorite) to the vinegar.
  • Stir in some chopped fresh herbs, chopped toasted nuts, or a few tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese or grated Parmesan.
