Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until the mustard is fully incorporated into the vinegar.
Step 2
Add in the honey and minced garlic, and whisk again until everything is well mixed.
Step 3
Gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 4
Add freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice to the mixture, and whisk once more to combine.
Step 5
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with additional black pepper or a touch more honey if a sweeter flavor is desired.
Step 6
Transfer the vinaigrette to a sealable glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Shake the vinaigrette well before each use, as separation of oil and vinegar may occur naturally.
