Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp smooth Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tsp honey
  • 1.5 tbsp finely minced shallot
  • 1 tsp grated or minced garlic
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp water to thin, as needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper, garlic, and shallot in a bowl until smooth.
  • Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly until glossy and emulsified.
  • Whisk in water to loosen. Taste and adjust seasoning. Use right away or chill.

Notes

For a twist, swap half the vinegar with fresh lemon juice or stir in a spoonful of chopped herbs. For a creamier version, whisk in 1–2 teaspoons mayo or Greek yogurt. Store covered in the fridge up to 1 week; shake well before serving.
