Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 small, minced Garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Whisk or shake the mixture vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the olive oil while continuing to whisk (if using a bowl) or add it to the jar and shake until emulsified and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey as desired to suit your preference.
Use immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use to re-emulsify if it separates.
