Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 0.33 cups Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cups Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while whisking continuously to create an emulsion. This will help the vinaigrette thicken and combine properly.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
If the vinaigrette is too thick for your liking, whisk in up to 1/4 cup of water, a little at a time, to reach the desired consistency.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a large jar or airtight container. Shake well before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature and shake again before use.
