Start by washing all the fresh herbs to remove any soil or contaminants, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, basil, and chives and set them aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and use a garlic press or a fine grater to mince them.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.
Add the minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using a whisk, blend all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or a dressing bottle.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before using, shake or stir the dressing well, and drizzle over your favorite salad or use as a marinade.
