Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
- sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 2–4 tablespoons water* (optional, see notes below)
Instructions
- Combine white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking until the vinaigrette is emulsified and smooth.
- If you prefer a lighter vinaigrette, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake or whisk again prior to serving.
Notes
I typically add 2-4 tablespoons of water (one tablespoons at a time) to achieve a lighter consistency. That is my personal preference. If you prefer a thicker vinaigrette, this recipe will be perfect as is.
