Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, or use a garlic press to achieve a smooth consistency.
In a medium-sized bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper.
Whisk or shake the ingredients well until the honey and mustard are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified vinaigrette. If using a jar, pour the olive oil into the jar, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until emulsified.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding a little more salt, honey, or vinegar to balance the flavors to your liking.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container or store it in the glass jar. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
