Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, honey, minced garlic, and hot sauce. Whisk together until smooth and well-integrated.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking. This will help form an emulsion and create a smooth vinaigrette.

Step 3

Add the paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce for desired flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Shake or whisk the vinaigrette before serving and use it as a dressing for salads, a marinade for proteins, or a drizzle over roasted vegetables.
