2 egg yolks
1/2 pint oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dry mustard

French Dressing
Ingredients
6-9 tbsp polyunsaturated oil
3 tbsp vinegar
1/4 tsp dry mustard (optional)
1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)
1/2 tsp sugar
Seasoning
Method
Put all the ingredients in a screw-top jar, shake well until thoroughly blended
This will keep for several weeks in the fridge but always shake well before use
The amount of oil can be varied according to taste, as can the type of oil or vinegar
The oil used most often is olive oil but corn or sunflower oil can also be used, these do not have such a strong flavour

Herbs and spices can be added if desired
