Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Elderflower cordial
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the elderflower cordial and white wine vinegar until well combined.
Add the Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture. Whisk vigorously to emulsify the dressing until it appears smooth and slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors as desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a small jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for easy storage and serving.
Refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur.
