Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper finely ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic, mustard, salt, pepper, herbs and garlic.
  2. Add the oil and whisk thoroughly to combine. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully emulsified.
  3. Store in a jar with a lid and refrigerate. Shake well before serving.

Notes

  • If you don't like Dijon then either use a milder mustard or just leave it out altogether
  • If raw garlic is to strong for you, use garlic powder
  • The recipe as shown makes a fairly thick vinaigrette. If you like it thinner, use equal parts balsamic vinegar and oil
  • you can make this in a blender, which will emulsify the dressing really well and will stay emulsified for much, much longer. Do this for dinner parties
