Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for smoother consistency.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is emulsified and smooth. If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together briskly until fully combined.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. For a thinner consistency, add water a teaspoon at a time, shaking or whisking until the desired texture is achieved.
Step 5
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before using if the dressing separates.
