Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and honey. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. The dressing should become creamy and uniform.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Whisk again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, whisk in a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
