Luggage Room Chopped Salad
- Champagne vinaigarette
- 1/4 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 egg yolk
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- Salt and cracked pepper
- In a bowl, whisk together the mustard and egg yolk. Whisk in the vinegar, then the olive oil in a slow drizzle. Taste, seasoning with salt and pepper and adjusting the flavorings if desired. This makes a scant one-half cup dressing. The dressing will keep, covered and chilled, up to 3 days.
