The third secret is to add a shallot. Shallot is a variety of garlic, cousin of the onion.

In my opinion, the shallot is little known and is not used enough in cooking!
If you’ve never bought one, shallots can be found in the same aisle as garlic.

Little tip for slicing it:

Cut small horizontal and vertical slices from the shallot before chopping it (as in the photo).

Ingredients For 6 to 8 people:

– 6 cl of white balsamic vinegar (about 4 tablespoons)
– 1 shallot, finely chopped
– 2 teaspoons of fine Dijon mustard
– 2 pinches of fresh ground pepper
– 6 cl of olive oil (about 4 tablespoons)
– 1 pinch of salt

How to do :

1. In a glass jar, put the vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt and pepper.

2. Close the lid tightly.

3. Shake vigorously.

4. Add the olive oil.

5. Shake again.

Result :
