Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar ed wine, balsamic, or apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tablespoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced or crushed clove
  • 1 tablespoon basil, parsley

Instructions
 

  • Use the standard ratio of 3:1 oil to vinegar for a balanced flavour. Adjust according to taste.
  • Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl or jar. If using a jar, make sure it has a tight-fitting lid.
  • Whisk vigorously in a bowl or shake the jar until the oil and vinegar blend into a creamy consistency.
  • Taste the mixture and tweak as needed—add more vinegar for tanginess, honey for sweetness, or mustard for a richer texture.
  • Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. Shake before serving if stored.
