Mustard vinaigrette is a plain vinegar (or some other acid such as wine or fruit juice) and oil dressing with mustard added as an emulsifier; that is, the addition of mustard helps keep the acid and oil mixed while pouring on the salad.

I did a little research on the basics of preparing a simple vinaigrette to see how my tried and true recipe stood up to the pros. What follows are some tips on making a basic vinaigrette that can be your starting point for a plethora of vinaigrettes that can be prepared by altering the ingredients.
Almost all the recipes I found call for a 3 to 1 ratio of oil to vinegar. This is a safe ratio to memorize for general knowledge but shouldn't keep you from coming up with your own. When making this basic vinaigrette for myself, I rarely measure it out. I just add the ingredients, taste, and adjust. Now this isn't the best way for beginners to learn, but once you get the basic idea of what it should taste like, go for it. If I did measure it out, I bet I would come up with a ratio of slightly less oil to vinegar than 3 to 1.
