Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or crush them with a garlic press for a stronger flavor.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined.
While continuously whisking, slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing. This ensures a silky, cohesive texture.
Once the dressing is fully blended, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Pour the dressing into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Shake well before serving. Use as a salad dressing, sandwich sauce, or marinade for meats.
