Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. You can also use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a small mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the mixture continuously to create an emulsified dressing. If using a mason jar, screw on the lid tightly and shake vigorously until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or honey if needed to balance the flavors.
Use immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk before each use if separation occurs.
