A delightful and easy-to-make dressing that combines the tanginess of balsamic vinegar with the sweetness of honey, perfect for salads or marinades.
Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Crushing the garlic with a pinch of salt can help release its natural oils and enhance its flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, Dijon mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
Whisking these ingredients first ensures the flavors are evenly distributed before adding the oil.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is emulsified.
Using a steady hand while pouring the oil helps achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Season the dressing with black pepper to taste.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preference.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling the dressing allows the flavors to meld together for a more harmonious taste.
