A classic balsamic vinaigrette made with rich balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard, delivering a perfectly balanced tangy and slightly sweet flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined.
  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
  4. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully blended and slightly thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tang.
  6. Serve immediately or transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.

Notes

  • Shake or whisk well before each use as natural separation may occur.
  • If refrigerated, allow the dressing to sit at room temperature briefly if the olive oil solidifies.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Add fresh herbs for additional depth of flavor.
