Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large, minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, to adjust consistency) water
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh parsley leaves to remove any dirt or water.
In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.
Blend or pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and emulsified. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
If the vinaigrette is too thick for your liking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, blending after each addition, to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Shake or stir well before serving, as separation may occur during storage.
