Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove until it is almost paste-like. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette. The mixture should thicken slightly as you whisk.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey based on your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar with a lid or an airtight container. Shake well before each use as the mixture may separate over time.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad, or use as a marinade for chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables.
