What’s Frenchie Dressing? The best mustard vinaigrette you’ve ever had

Two types of mustard and the combination of vinegar with lemon juice give this vinaigrette its complex full-flavored tang. At Hippo restaurant, chef Matt Molina and his team blitz this mix in a food processor so that the mustard seeds break up, highlighting their piquant taste. You can whisk the dressing instead and enjoy the pop of the whole mustard seeds with each bite. This dressing was created to go with charred green beans but is also delicious on any salad, from leafy greens to roasted beets, and can season grain bowls too.
