  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients: Add the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to a small bowl or jar.
  2. Emulsify the dressing: If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together vigorously until fully blended and emulsified. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.

  • Store extra dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; shake well before each use.
  • For a tangier dressing, increase the balsamic vinegar slightly.
