Balsamic Vinaigrette

Instructions

1. 1

   Finely mince the garlic clove or press it through a garlic press.

2. 2

   In a small bowl or jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

4. 4

   While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream. This creates an emulsion and prevents the dressing from separating.

5. 5

   Continue whisking until the vinaigrette is smooth and well emulsified.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning as needed - add more salt, pepper, or a touch more honey if desired.

7. 7

   Transfer to an airtight container or jar. Shake well before each use.

8. 8

   Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
