Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small bowl or jar, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined (or shake the jar with a lid tightly on).
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk to create an emulsified vinaigrette.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or honey, as needed.
If the vinaigrette is too thick for your liking, add the optional water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
