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.
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for your preference.
Whisk the vinaigrette once more before transferring it to a jar or serving vessel.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before using, as separation may occur.
