Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic clove and finely mince or grate it with a microplane to ensure it integrates well into the vinaigrette.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette. The mixture should become thicker and slightly creamy in texture.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preferences.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage or immediate use. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
