Ingredients

• 1 small red onion
• 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the red onion. Aim for very small, even pieces to ensure a smooth dressing.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette. The mixture should become creamy and well-blended.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin out the vinaigrette, if needed, and whisk again to combine.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
