Notes
The most important thing to note in this recipe is that not all Dijon mustards are created equally! Before making the recipe, taste-test your mustard to see how vinegar-y it is. Depending on your liking, you may want to add less lemon juice to this recipe. On the other side, if the mustard is less vinegar-y and more sweet, consider adding less honey and a splash of champagne or wine vinegar to the dressing. Be sure to always add in increments and taste as you go!
If you can't find Aleppo pepper, feel free to omit or use hot paprika and chili flakes instead.
If spice isn't your thing, feel free to omit the spicy pepper flakes and/or hot sauce.
Separation is natural. Before serving, shake the dressing to recombine.
This vinaigrette will last in the fridge for up to a week.
