Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Pour the red wine vinegar into the bowl with the garlic and mustard mixture.

Step 3

Begin whisking the contents of the bowl slowly to combine them. This will create the vinegar base of your vinaigrette.

Step 4

While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil. This should be done gradually to ensure the oil emulsifies with the vinegar, forming a smooth and well-blended dressing.

Step 5

Once all the olive oil has been incorporated, continue whisking until the vinaigrette is smooth and well-emulsified.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. This allows for easy storage and shaking before use.

Step 8

Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients.
