Ingredients

• 0.75 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the ingredients are well blended.

Step 2

Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuously whisking. This will help to emulsify the dressing, giving it a smooth and creamy texture.

Step 3

Once the olive oil is fully incorporated and the vinaigrette is well blended, taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 4

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container if not using immediately.

Step 5

Before serving, give the vinaigrette a good shake or stir as the ingredients may have separated.

Step 6

Use the vinaigrette to dress your favorite greens, vegetables, or as a marinade for proteins.
