Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (optional for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the molasses, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help to emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed. If the dressing is too thick, whisk in up to 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before serving to recombine ingredients.
