The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and white wine vinegar.

    About 1 min

  2. 2

    Add the dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and spices to your personal preference.

  3. 3

    Whisk the mixture while slowly drizzling in the olive oil until the marinade is smooth and well combined.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Adding the oil slowly while whisking helps create a stable emulsion that won't separate easily.

  4. 4

    Pour the marinade over your choice of protein, such as chicken or pork, and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

    Cook’s note: For more intense flavor, you can marinate for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
