Hazelnut Oil-Mustard Vinaigrette

A simple, tasty vinaigrette using hazelnut oil:

2 T country dijon or other grainy mustard
several scallions, finely chopped
1 T sherry vinegar
1 T cider vinegar
6 T roasted hazelnut oil
salt and pepper

Mix mustard, vinegars and scallions. Whisk in oil and add salt and pepper.

Great with bread and on salad. The hazelnut oil seems very light but, not surprisingly, adds a nice, nutty aroma and taste.  I thought it was a little too mustardy, but others thought it was just right.
