Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and black pepper.
Whisk ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create a smooth and emulsified dressing.
If the vinaigrette appears too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon of water to thin it to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt, but the soy sauce may already provide sufficient saltiness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a glass jar or container with a lid for storage.
Serve immediately over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade.
