Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out the honey and white wine vinegar.
- Whisk the honey and white wine vinegar together until they are thoroughly combined and the honey is completely dissolved.
- Add the Dijon mustard to the honey and vinegar mixture, whisking vigorously to create a smooth and emulsified base.
- Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking. This technique helps create a stable and creamy dressing that will not separate quickly.
- Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning gradually and tasting as you go.
- Use an immersion blender or continue whisking until the dressing becomes smooth and slightly thickened, with a consistent golden color and glossy appearance.
- Transfer the dressing to a clean glass jar or airtight container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Shake or whisk the dressing briefly before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Use room temperature ingredients for smoother emulsification.
- Whisk Continuously: When adding olive oil, whisk vigorously to prevent separation.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your dressing and adjust salt and pepper gradually.
- Storage Hack: Store in a glass jar with a tight lid for up to a week in the refrigerator.
- Serving Tip: Let the dressing sit for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
- Versatility Bonus: This dressing works great on green salads, as a marinade, or even as a dip!
