Ingredients

• 60 g crumbled blue cheese
• 120 ml extra-virgin olive oil
• 30 ml white wine vinegar
• 10 g Dijon mustard
• 5 ml honey
• 1 clove garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 15 ml water (optional, for thinning the dressing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsified base for the vinaigrette.

Step 3

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, breaking it up slightly to incorporate into the dressing while leaving small chunks for texture.

Step 4

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.

Step 5

If the dressing is too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or serving vessel and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve over fresh greens, as a drizzle for roasted vegetables, or alongside crusty bread as a dip.
