O Que Você Precisa Saber
- The initial mixture of Dijon mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar dissolves the solutes and creates the stabilizing base.
- The olive oil should be poured in a constant stream while beating vigorously with a wire whisk.

Chef Tips
- Use a wire whisk (fouet) or make the sauce by shaking energetically inside a closed glass jar.
- Add the olive oil little by little in a thin stream so that the mustard can encapsulate the droplets of fat.
- Keep all ingredients at room temperature before beating to facilitate the formation of the emulsion.
Variations
- Creamy French sauce: add two tablespoons of whole natural yogurt at the end of the emulsion.
- Version with roasted garlic: mash a roasted garlic clove and incorporate it along with the mustard at the beginning of preparation.
- Toque cítrico: add a teaspoon of fine lemon zest along with the fine herbs.
Substitutions
- O vinagre balsâmico pode ser substituído por vinagre de vinho tinto ou suco de limão-siciliano fresco.
- O mel pode ser trocado por xarope de bordo (maple), melado de cana ou açúcar mascavo dissolvido.
- A mostarda Dijon tradicional pode ser substituída por mostarda em grãos (l’ancienne) para textura rústica.
How to Store
Store the sauce in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. As olive oil can solidify in the cold, remove the container about 10 minutes before consumption and shake before drizzling over the dishes.
Can You Freeze It?
Não é recomendado congelar este molho de salada. As baixas temperaturas quebram a emulsão entre azeite e vinagre, resultando na separação completa das fases líquida e oleosa após o processo de descongelamento.
What to Serve With
Pairs well with bitter leaf salads like arugula and radicchio, steamed vegetables, or beef carpaccio. It also works well as a quick marinade for grilled chicken fillets or white fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to do if the sauce breaks and the olive oil separates?
Add a teaspoon of warm water or another half tablespoon of mustard in a clean bowl and pour the separated mixture little by little while whisking with a whisk.
Posso usar azeite comum no lugar do azeite de oliva extravirgem?
Pode usar azeite virgem ou óleo de canola, porém o azeite extravirgem confere o aroma característico e o corpo denso da emulsão clássica.
What is the difference between Dijon mustard and common yellow mustard?
Dijon mustard is made with dark mustard seeds and white wine, having a spicier, saltier flavor and a homogeneous texture ideal for emulsifying.
Should the fine herbs be fresh or dried?
Both work; the dried ones need 15 minutes of resting in liquid to hydrate, while fresh chopped ones should be consumed within fewer days.
