Description
With just six ingredients including salt and pepper, it's as easy as shaking a jar to make your own delicious balsamic vinaigrette at home.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to a bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Whisk or shake very well to combine until emulsified. The vinaigrette should be thickened and even in colour when mixed.
- Use immediately or store until needed. Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to a week.
Notes
This makes around ⅓ cup of vinaigrette, or just about 100 ml. It's just right for a standard head of lettuce.
If you're using creamed honey, be sure to mix very well and check that there isn't honey that hasn't been incorporated.
Storage: refrigerate (covered) for up to a week. The vinaigrette might solidify when chilled. Take it out an hour before you plan on serving to bring it back to room temperature and shake or whisk again before use.
