Print Recipe

A quick and easy honey Dijon balsamic vinaigrette that balances sweet, tangy, and mustard flavors, perfect for salads and versatile for many occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Measure the balsamic vinegar (3 tablespoons / 45 ml) into your small bowl or mason jar.
  2. Add the honey (1 tablespoon / 15 ml) directly to the vinegar. If honey is too thick, warm slightly to blend better.
  3. Mix in Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon / 5 ml).
  4. Sprinkle in garlic powder (½ teaspoon / 2.5 ml), salt (~⅛ teaspoon / 0.75 g), and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir or shake to combine.
  5. Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil (6 tablespoons / 90 ml) while whisking vigorously or shaking the jar for about 30 seconds until emulsified.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more honey or vinegar as needed, and salt to taste.
  7. Let the vinaigrette sit for 5-10 minutes if possible to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

If separation occurs after sitting, shake well before serving. For vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Can substitute red wine vinegar if balsamic is unavailable. Adding fresh herbs or spices can customize flavor. Store in refrigerator up to one week.
