Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup (if using), salt, and ground black pepper into a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 2

Add the red wine vinegar to the bowl or jar and whisk (or shake, if using a jar) until the ingredients are combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. If using a jar, add the oil all at once and shake vigorously until well combined.

Step 4

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener as desired.

Step 5

Use the dressing immediately or store it in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use, as separation is natural.
