Gribiche sauce comes from the French and is made simply from emulsifying hard-boiled eggs with mustard and a light-colored oil. Gribiche is typically used in cold mayonnaise style egg salads and topped with salty capers and a fresh herb like parsley or tarragon. Here I’ve dressed it up and used it as a dressing for shrimp and asparagus. I’ve combined Olive Oil, Dijon mustard, Apple Cider Vinegar, dill pickles, parsley, salt, pepper, and a packet of Splenda for a touch of sweetness to balance all the tangy without adding sugar. Couldn’t you just dip into that with a pack of crackers? Go ahead. I won’t tell!
