Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 6 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, to adjust consistency)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and honey. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. The dressing should become creamy and uniform.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Whisk again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 4

If the dressing is too thick for your preference, whisk in a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
