Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup (if using), salt, and ground black pepper into a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Add the red wine vinegar to the bowl or jar and whisk (or shake, if using a jar) until the ingredients are combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. If using a jar, add the oil all at once and shake vigorously until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener as desired.
Use the dressing immediately or store it in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use, as separation is natural.
