Steps
Combine 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 2-cup jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir the mixture with a fork until it is milky in appearance and no lumps of mayonnaise or molasses remain.
Add 1/4 cup wine vinegar to the jar, seal the lid, and shake until the mixture is smooth, about 10 seconds.
Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil, seal the jar, and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined, about 10 seconds.
Repeat the process, adding the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and the 1/4 cup vegetable oil in two separate additions, shaking vigorously for 10 seconds after each addition.
Check the consistency; after the final addition, the vinaigrette should be glossy and lightly thickened with no pools of oil on the surface.
Refrigerate the vinaigrette for up to 1 week. Shake briefly before using to re-incorporate.
Notes
Regular or light mayonnaise can be used. Do not use blackstrap molasses as it is too bitter. You can substitute toasted hazelnut or walnut oil for the extra-virgin olive oil for a different flavor profile. The 2:1 ratio of olive oil to vegetable oil prevents the dressing from solidifying in the fridge.
