Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (optional, finely minced)
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Discard or save the whites for another recipe.
Step 2
Add the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl with the egg yolks. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 3
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Start with just a few drops at a time, gradually increasing the flow to ensure the vinaigrette emulsifies and thickens.
Step 4
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, season the vinaigrette with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 5
Transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container or jar. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir or shake well before serving.
