Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic and finely mince it until it becomes almost paste-like.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking. This helps to emulsify the olive oil with the rest of the ingredients, giving the vinaigrette a smooth and cohesive consistency.
Step 5
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the vinaigrette to a glass jar or a dressing bottle for easy storage and shaking before each use.
Step 7
Refrigerate the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before each use.
Step 8
The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Use it to dress green salads, or drizzle it over grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes for a heart-healthy flavor boost.
