Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.
In a small mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, and water.
Whisk the mixture together until the mustard is completely incorporated and the liquid is smooth.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl or jar while continuing to whisk or shake vigorously if using a sealed jar. Aim for a slow and steady stream to emulsify the mixture thoroughly.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Once well mixed, transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container. If using a mixing bowl, you may want to whisk again just before serving to ensure even distribution.
Serve immediately over salads or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. Shake or whisk well before each use.
