Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Using a whisk, mix the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This helps emulsify the vinaigrette, giving it a creamy and cohesive texture.

Step 4

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or a touch of honey for sweetness.

Step 5

Once the vinaigrette is smooth and to your taste, transfer it to a clean jar or bottle for storage.

Step 6

Shake or stir before each use as the ingredients may separate over time. Enjoy over salads, roasted veggies, or as a marinade.
