Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 pinch Stevia or other sugar substitute (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, add the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.
Finely mince one clove of garlic and add it to the bowl or jar.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously (if using a bowl) to create an emulsified mixture. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal the lid, and shake vigorously.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter vinaigrette, add a pinch of stevia or sugar substitute and mix well.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
