Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 medium-sized Fresh tomato (ripe)
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 3 large Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh tomato and basil leaves thoroughly.
Finely dice the tomato, ensuring to remove the core. Place the diced tomato into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic clove. Add the minced garlic to the mixing bowl with the tomato.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar into the bowl with the tomato and garlic.
Add the honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the mixture.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the mixing bowl.
Use a whisk or a fork to vigorously mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The dressing should have a slightly emulsified texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the salt or vinegar to preference, if needed.
Let the dressing sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, transfer to a jar for storage and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
