Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Whisk or shake the mixture briskly until the mustard and honey are completely dissolved and well incorporated.
Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil to the vinegar mixture while whisking continuously. This will help in emulsifying the dressing for a creamy texture.
Add the water to the mixture to further cut down the fat content and whisk or shake again until all ingredients are well blended.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
For a perfectly mixed vinaigrette, give it a final shake or whisk before serving to ensure everything is fully combined.
Store any leftover vinaigrette in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as slight separation can occur.
