Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the honey and mustard are fully integrated.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette and create a smooth consistency.
Add the fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture. Whisk again to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary; you may add more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using, as the oil and vinegar may separate over time.
Use the vinaigrette to dress your favorite Mediterranean-inspired salads or as a marinade for grilled vegetables and proteins.
