Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or grate it with a microplane to ensure it integrates well into the vinaigrette.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette. The mixture should become thicker and slightly creamy in texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage or immediate use. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
