Made with wholesome ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a touch of honey, this homemade dressing is both simple and versatile.

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press to ensure it’s very fine.
In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until emulsified, or if using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake for 15–20 seconds until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a touch of honey for sweetness.
Use immediately over your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk again before using if separation occurs.
