Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk until all the ingredients are well blended.
Add the minced garlic and whisk again to integrate it evenly throughout the mixture.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette and combine the oil thoroughly with the other ingredients.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, slowly add the water while whisking, which will lighten the vinaigrette and reduce its calorie density.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Shake well before using, as the vinaigrette may separate upon standing.
Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
