Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons blush wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon shallot, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blush wine vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until the honey is fully dissolved.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously. This helps to emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth and well-blended consistency.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the mixture and stir well to incorporate.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use.
Enjoy your homemade blush wine vinaigrette over fresh salads or as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
