Ingredients

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together first 5 ingredients. Slowly add olive oil while whisking constantly. Stir in pecans just before serving.

Test Kitchen tips

For the best results, start with all the ingredients at room temperature. If the oil is cool or cold, it is much more difficult to form the emulsion.

To get the most flavor out of these simple ingredients, mix up the vinaigrette and let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers; bring cold vinaigrette to room temperature before shaking to combine.

To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5 to 10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
