Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, fresh lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk together thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsion. If using a mason jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.
Use immediately on your favorite salad or as a marinade, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container. Shake or whisk again before serving if separation occurs.
