Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to the vinegar and mustard mixture.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsion. If you're using a jar, you can simply pour in the olive oil, secure the lid, and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a thinner dressing, add a tablespoon of water and whisk or shake again until well combined.
Use immediately on your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator for up to one week. If stored, shake well before using as the ingredients may separate over time.
