Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (optional, finely minced)
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Discard or save the whites for another recipe.
Add the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl with the egg yolks. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Start with just a few drops at a time, gradually increasing the flow to ensure the vinaigrette emulsifies and thickens.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, season the vinaigrette with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container or jar. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir or shake well before serving.
