Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic clove and finely mince it, or use a garlic press to crush it.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl or jar with a lid, combine the balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Whisk together the ingredients (or if using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously) until well combined and slightly emulsified.

Step 4

While continuously whisking (or with the jar open), slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil. This will help emulsify the dressing and give it a silky texture.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 6

Use immediately on your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
