Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion
- 120 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
- 60 milliliters red wine vinegar
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 10 grams honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the small red onion, aiming for very small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the vinaigrette.
Peel and mince the garlic clove, making sure there are no large chunks.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
Gradually drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture to create an emulsion.
Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir to distribute evenly throughout the vinaigrette.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealed container or bottle and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Store the leftover vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
