Ingredients

1x
  • 120ml infused olive oil
  • 60ml balsamic or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

How to Make It

  1. 1Combine vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey in a jar.
  2. 2Add infused olive oil.
  3. 3Seal and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified.
  4. 4Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. 5Store in the fridge. Shake before each use.

Pro Tips

  • A jar with a tight lid is the easiest way to make and store vinaigrette.
  • The emulsion breaks over time — shaking before each use re-emulsifies it.
  • Add fresh herbs (basil, thyme) for extra flavor complexity.

Serving Ideas

Drizzle 2 tablespoons per salad serving. Shake well before each use as the oil and vinegar will separate. Store in the fridge.
