Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, to thin the vinaigrette)
Instructions
In a medium-size bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Add the Dijon mustard and minced garlic to the oil-vinegar mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the vinaigrette is emulsified and creamy. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake the jar for about 1-2 minutes until emulsified.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a thinner consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time and whisk or shake until incorporated.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
