What each ingredient does

Olive oil
Forms the bulk of the dressing and carries its fat-based body and mouthfeel.
Vegetable oil
Adds more fat, giving the dressing a smooth, rich body.
Red wine vinegar
Provides the sharp acidity that balances the rich oils.
Dijon mustard
Acts as an emulsifier, helping the oil and vinegar stay blended and thick.

The step that matters

Blending until thick and smooth. Oil and vinegar separate on their own. Blending breaks the oil into tiny droplets suspended in the acidic liquid, and mustard helps keep them from recombining. Blending too briefly leaves a thin, separated dressing.
