Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic until fully combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. This will create a smooth and creamy consistency.
Stir in the chopped parsley, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more vinegar for tanginess or honey for sweetness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Before serving, shake or whisk the vinaigrette to re-emulsify in case it has separated during storage.
