Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
Start by peeling and mincing the garlic clove. You want to ensure the garlic is finely minced to integrate well into the dressing.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard until fully combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture to create an emulsion. This step is key as it helps to evenly mix the ingredients creating a creamy and well-blended dressing.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture, continuing to whisk until everything is well incorporated.
To balance the tartness of the vinegar, mix in the stevia or monk fruit sweetener, adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.
Once all the ingredients are combined, taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or sweetness, if necessary.
Transfer the dressing into a jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage. Shake well before using on salads.
Refrigerate the vinaigrette and use it within two weeks for the best flavor.
