Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 teaspoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove and set it aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the vinegar mixture, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed throughout.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the water, which will help to lighten the texture of the vinaigrette and reduce the amount of oil needed.

Step 5

Begin to whisk vigorously and gradually add the extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream. This process emulsifies the vinaigrette, helping it to remain mixed.

Step 6

Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Whisk the mixture again to ensure the seasoning is evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealable jar or container. Shake well before each use to recombine the ingredients.

Step 8

Serve the vinaigrette over your favorite salad greens, or use it as a marinade for grilled vegetables or lean proteins.
