Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 piece Garlic clove (finely minced or grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until they are well-blended. If using a jar, securely seal the lid and shake vigorously until combined.
Gradually add the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal the lid, and shake until fully emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey if desired.
Use immediately to dress your favorite salad, or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 1 week. Shake or stir before serving if the dressing separates.
