Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), and minced garlic.
Step 2
Add the salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3
Whisk vigorously if using a bowl, or secure the lid on the jar and shake well until the ingredients are fully emulsified and the dressing has a smooth, slightly thickened texture.
Step 4
If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water one teaspoon at a time, whisking or shaking after each addition, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
Step 6
Use immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
