Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Walnut oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to thin the dressing)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the walnut oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic.
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture.
Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified, or, if using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
If the dressing is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon of water to thin it to your desired consistency.
Serve immediately drizzled over salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before use.
