Description
Can be refrigerated up to 1 month.
Ingredients
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced (or substitute 1 small shallot for every 2 garlic cloves)
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk the garlic, vinegar, mustard, a big pinch of salt, and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl or a 1-quart liquid measuring cup.
- Slowly whisk in the oil (I frequently pull out my hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment) first in droplets, then in a steady stream to make thick vinaigrette. Pour into a jar and refrigerate.
