This dressing balances the sharp tang of balsamic vinegar with the sweetness of honey and the bite of Dijon mustard. A slow stream of olive oil whisked in at the end creates a silky, emulsified texture perfect for drizzling over green salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.

  2. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing is fully emulsified and slightly thickened.

  3. Whisk in the salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

  5. Shake or whisk well before serving, as the dressing may separate upon standing.
