- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey

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.
