Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, combine the white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. If using a jar, close the lid tightly and shake vigorously until combined.

Step 3

Add the poppy seeds and toasted sesame seeds to the vinaigrette. Stir or shake to evenly distribute the seeds.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of water to slightly thin the dressing, stirring or shaking again to incorporate.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a serving container or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight jar for up to one week.

Step 7

Shake well before each use, as the seeds may settle at the bottom.
