Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mince the garlic clove finely.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, and water.

Step 3

Whisk the mixture together until the mustard is completely incorporated and the liquid is smooth.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl or jar while continuing to whisk or shake vigorously if using a sealed jar. Aim for a slow and steady stream to emulsify the mixture thoroughly.

Step 5

Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 6

Once well mixed, transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container. If using a mixing bowl, you may want to whisk again just before serving to ensure even distribution.

Step 7

Serve immediately over salads or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. Shake or whisk well before each use.
