Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, ensuring it is chopped into very small pieces or crushed into a paste using the flat side of a knife.
In a small bowl, add the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, and minced garlic.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly. This emulsifies the mixture and creates a smooth vinaigrette.
