Simple & Tangy Balsamic Vinaigrette
This versatile vinaigrette is a perfect complement to salads, roasted vegetables, and chicken wraps. A few simple ingredients, whisked together, create a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 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.
- Gradually add the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
- 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.
