Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients together until well-blended.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the dressing, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Transfer the dressing to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the dressing a good shake or stir. Drizzle over salads, use as a sandwich spread, or enjoy it as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
