Ingredients for Amazing Garlicy Balsamic Vinaigrette

How to Make Amazing Garlicy Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You might want more garlic, honey, salt, or pepper depending on your preference.
  3. If you prefer a smoother vinaigrette, use an immersion blender to emulsify the mixture for a few seconds.
  4. Serve immediately over your favorite salad or use as a marinade for chicken, fish, or vegetables.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
