  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  2. In a mini food processor, combine vinegar, egg yolks, garlic, anchovies and mustard. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed. With the processor running, pour the oil through the feed tube to make a smooth dressing, Season with the salt and pepper.
