A delightful vinaigrette with a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, ideal for salads and marinades.
Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Use a garlic press for a finer texture and to save time.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, Dijon mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
Ensure the ingredients are well blended before adding the oil.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is emulsified.
Adding the oil gradually helps achieve a smooth and stable emulsion.
Season with black pepper and adjust the salt and honey to taste.
Taste the dressing and balance the flavors according to your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more harmonious taste.
Shake well before using and enjoy over your favorite salad or as a marinade.
Give the container a good shake to recombine any separated ingredients.
