Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture well until smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the vinaigrette.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey as needed.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to reach your desired consistency, whisking well after each addition.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container for storage, or use immediately on your favorite salad or dish.
