Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cold water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continually whisking to create a smooth emulsion.
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the mixture is fully blended.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, whisk in cold water, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
