Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. If preferred, use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a small mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking. This helps to emulsify the dressing and create a smooth texture.
Add the salt and ground black pepper to taste, and whisk again until fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning or sweetness by adding a pinch of salt or a few drops of honey, if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or airtight container. Shake well before using.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and shake before each use to recombine any separated ingredients.
