Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press if you prefer a smoother texture in the vinaigrette.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl or mason jar, combine the ground cumin, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

If you prefer a slightly thinner consistency, add 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture.

Step 4

Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until emulsified, or if using a mason jar, seal the lid tightly and shake well to combine.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.

Step 6

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before using, as natural separation may occur.
