Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely with a knife or a garlic press.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Use a whisk to mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing. This should create a smooth, slightly thickened mixture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle and seal it tightly.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use and enjoy over your favorite salads or as a marinade for meats.
