Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange juice and balsamic vinegar.
Add the honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to the bowl. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. The mixture should thicken slightly and become smooth.
Season with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a lid for storage.
Shake well before serving and drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade.
