Ingredients

• 100 grams black olives, pitted
• 100 ml extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black olives under cold water to remove any excess brine, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Place the olives in a food processor or blender and pulse a few times to create a coarse paste.

Step 3

Add the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, sea salt, and water to the food processor or blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or honey to balance the flavors.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before serving.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow to come to room temperature and shake well before use.
