Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • Small bunch of flat-leaf parsley (about 1/2 cup chopped)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Chop Capers and Parsley: Finely chop the drained capers and the flat-leaf parsley by hand using a sharp knife, ensuring an even, fine texture to build a fresh and flavorful base for the dressing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the chopped parsley and capers into a mixing bowl. Add the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
  3. Mix the Dressing: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and emulsified. Alternatively, for a smoother consistency, add all ingredients to a mini chopper and blitz until you reach your preferred texture.
