Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or crush them using a garlic press.
In a small mixing bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the minced garlic, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until fully combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean serving container or use immediately to dress your favorite salad or dish.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as the oil and vinegar may separate over time.
