Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove (or use a garlic press for finer consistency).
In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously (if using a bowl) to emulsify the dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; add more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors to your liking.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
