Gordon Ramsay Dijon Salad Dressing Recipe – A Tangy and Creamy Classic

Gordon Ramsay Dijon Salad Dressing

Gordon Ramsay’s Dijon Salad Dressing is a versatile vinaigrette that combines the sharpness of Dijon mustard with the acidity of vinegar and the richness of olive oil. The mustard acts as an emulsifier, giving the dressing a creamy consistency that clings beautifully to salad leaves. Whether used as a dressing, marinade, or drizzle, this recipe adds a gourmet touch to any dish.
