Elevate your salad game with the simple yet sophisticated Pampered Chef Vinaigrette, a homemade dressing that comes together in just 5 minutes! This recipe blends rich extra-virgin olive oil with tangy balsamic vinegar, a touch of Dijon mustard for depth, and a hint of honey for natural sweetness. Freshly minced garlic adds bold flavor, while a dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper ties it all together. Emulsified to silky perfection with a whisk or a quick shake in a jar, this versatile vinaigrette is perfect for drizzling over crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or even as a marinade. Make it ahead and enjoy its freshness all week longβjust one shake away from a deliciously balanced dressing!
In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together (or, if using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously) until the mixture is well blended.
Gradually add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify the vinaigrette. If using a jar, add the olive oil, secure the lid, and shake until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately over salads or store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
