Preparation Steps
1
Dissolve Seasoning & Hydrate
Thoroughly blend 1 package RC Siena Vinaigrette Dressing Mix with 1 cup sugar. Place 1 pint water in a separate mixing bowl, add the dry mixture, and whip for 5 minutes at medium speed.
2
Add Acid & Emulsify Oil
Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add 1 quart white vinegar and mix for 3 minutes at medium speed. Gradually stream in 2½ quarts salad oil while whipping at high speed for 6 minutes to form a stable emulsion.

Incorporate Dijon Mustard & Chill
Add ¼ to ¾ cup Dijon mustard (depending on desired tanginess and body) and mix on medium speed until well incorporated. Store covered in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow the mustard aromatics to mature.
Chef Notes & Culinary Applications
French Bistro Classic: Dijon mustard acts as a natural emulsifier, helping hold this vinaigrette together while adding a clean, sharp bite.
Serving Ideas: Beautifully complements warm bacon spinach salads, frisée with poached egg, roasted beet and goat cheese bowls, or as a marinade for grilled pork chops and chicken breasts.
