Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press if you prefer a smoother texture in the vinaigrette.
In a small mixing bowl or mason jar, combine the ground cumin, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
If you prefer a slightly thinner consistency, add 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until emulsified, or if using a mason jar, seal the lid tightly and shake well to combine.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before using, as natural separation may occur.
