• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together or shake the jar vigorously until the honey and mustard are fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

While continuously whisking or shaking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the vinaigrette is thick and emulsified.

Step 4

Taste the vinaigrette and make any necessary adjustments, such as adding a touch more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tanginess.

Step 5

Transfer the vinaigrette to a glass jar or bottle for storage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Before serving, shake well to recombine the ingredients, as separation is natural.
