  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 large garlic clove minced (or about 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

  • Transfer to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving.

Notes

Notes:
  • For a smoother dressing, you can blend the ingredients in a blender. However, whisking by hand creates a slightly thicker texture, which some prefer.
  • Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar, respectively.
  • The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
