Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the whole grain mustard, honey, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the honey is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
While whisking continually, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette and create a smooth consistency.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before using.
Serve the vinaigrette immediately over your favorite salad, or store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
