Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince it or use a garlic press to achieve a smooth texture.
In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined or, if using a jar, seal tightly with the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking if using a bowl. This will help the vinaigrette emulsify and blend together evenly. If using a jar, simply add the olive oil and shake again until well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey as needed.
Use immediately over salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
