Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the vinegar mixture while whisking constantly. This helps emulsify the dressing for a smooth texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey as needed.
