Ingredients

Instructions

Combine the mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt and white pepper in a bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer at low speed as you pour in the oil in a slow and continuous stream. The sauce will thicken in about one minute.
Add the minced dill and fold it in. Keep the sauce chilled.

Notes

Instead of using an electric mixer you can do it old-school and whisk by hand, but it may require more time than just one minute. I also usually tilt the bowl when I'm mixing by hand, and that would make it harder to also pour in the oil simultaneously, calling for the help of an assistant.
