Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Select a medium-sized mixing bowl that allows ample room for whisking.
- Pour the olive oil into the bowl as the base of your dressing.
- Add the apple cider vinegar to the olive oil, creating the initial liquid foundation.
- Incorporate the Dijon mustard, which will help emulsify and bind the dressing ingredients together.
- Drizzle in the honey, which will provide a subtle sweetness and balance the vinegar's acidity.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Using a whisk, vigorously blend all ingredients until they are completely combined and form a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
- Transfer the dressing to a sealed container or jar for storage.
- Refrigerate if not using immediately. The dressing can be stored for up to 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
- Shake or whisk briefly before serving to re-emulsify the dressing.
Tips
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor – extra virgin olive oil works best.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother blending.
- Whisk vigorously to create a smooth, well-emulsified dressing that won't separate quickly.
- For a smoother consistency, use a blender or immersion blender instead of a whisk.
- Experiment with different types of honey – raw honey or local varieties can add unique flavor notes.
- If you prefer a less tangy dressing, adjust the apple cider vinegar to your taste.
- Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for best preservation.
- Let the dressing sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- This versatile dressing works great not just on salads, but as a marinade for grilled vegetables or meats.
- Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving – personal preference is key!
