Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon water (optional for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the molasses, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help to emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 4

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed. If the dressing is too thick, whisk in up to 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.

Step 6

Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before serving to recombine ingredients.
