Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.75 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Using a whisk, stir these ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture has a uniform consistency.
Gradually pour the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking. This will help to emulsify the dressing, ensuring that the oil blends seamlessly with the vinegar mixture.
Continue whisking until the vinaigrette is thickened slightly and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the vinaigrette, and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Transfer the finished balsamic vinaigrette into a glass jar or an airtight container for storage.
For the best flavor, refrigerate the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use. The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
