Preparation:
- Soak red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Slowly pour in 2/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing is thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Exit: about 1 tbsp.
