Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and grated garlic until smooth.

  2. 2

    While whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream until the dressing thickens and emulsifies into a uniform, glossy mixture. If using a jar, simply cap it tightly and shake hard for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Season with the salt and pepper, then taste and adjust; add a touch more honey for sweetness or vinegar for sharpness.

  4. 4

    Use immediately, or store refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 1 week. Let it come to room temperature and shake or whisk again before serving, as the oil will solidify slightly when chilled.
