Michel Roux: "This is the classic French vinaigrette. Everyone has his or her own take on this simple recipe, adding a pinch of sugar here, some garlic, chopped onion or raw egg yolk there... but all resulting in a dressing that cannot, in a traditional sense, be called a true vinaigrette."
1. Put the mustard in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together, then pour in the vinegar as you whisk.
2. Finally, add the oil in a steady stream, whisking all the time, Taste and adjust the seasoning, and add a few more drops of vinegar if you feel it is needed.
3. This will keep for up to a week in the fridge, in a sealed jar or bottle.
