Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the yellow onion.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooled onion, remaining olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and honey.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and fully emulsified, about 1 minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your desired preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Shake well before each use. The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
