Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Powdered low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and powdered low-carb sweetener.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined or shake the jar vigorously to mix.
Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking continuously, or pour it into the jar and shake well until everything is emulsified and smooth.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener to suit your preference.
If the dressing is too thick, add the optional 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out, stirring or shaking to incorporate.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad or vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
