Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will create a creamy and cohesive texture.
Add the cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate the spices evenly.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. If you find the dressing too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake well before using and drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a dip for roasted vegetables or grilled dishes.
