Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press to create a smooth paste.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. The mixture should thicken and become smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
If the dressing is too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately drizzled over a fresh spinach salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or mix well before using if separated.
