Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the dried culinary lavender and white wine vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the lavender to infuse its flavor into the vinegar.
After 5 minutes, strain the vinegar through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl to remove the lavender petals. Discard the lavender solids.
To the strained vinegar, add honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the honey and mustard are fully dissolved.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Optionally, add a touch more honey for sweetness or vinegar for acidity based on your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
