Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 g crumbled blue cheese
- 120 ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 30 ml white wine vinegar
- 10 g Dijon mustard
- 5 ml honey
- 1 clove garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 15 ml water (optional, for thinning the dressing)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsified base for the vinaigrette.
Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, breaking it up slightly to incorporate into the dressing while leaving small chunks for texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
If the dressing is too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or serving vessel and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve over fresh greens, as a drizzle for roasted vegetables, or alongside crusty bread as a dip.
