Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until the mustard is fully incorporated into the vinegar.
Add in the honey and minced garlic, and whisk again until everything is well mixed.
Gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
Add freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice to the mixture, and whisk once more to combine.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with additional black pepper or a touch more honey if a sweeter flavor is desired.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealable glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake the vinaigrette well before each use, as separation of oil and vinegar may occur naturally.
