Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

• 1 pinch Stevia or other sugar substitute (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, add the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.

Step 2

Finely mince one clove of garlic and add it to the bowl or jar.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously (if using a bowl) to create an emulsified mixture. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal the lid, and shake vigorously.

Step 4

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

Step 5

If you prefer a slightly sweeter vinaigrette, add a pinch of stevia or sugar substitute and mix well.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Serve immediately over your favorite salad or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
