Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, honey, minced garlic, and hot sauce. Whisk together until smooth and well-integrated.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking. This will help form an emulsion and create a smooth vinaigrette.
Add the paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce for desired flavor.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or whisk the vinaigrette before serving and use it as a dressing for salads, a marinade for proteins, or a drizzle over roasted vegetables.
