- In a blender, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until fully emulsified.

- For best results, let the vinaigrette rest in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
