Preparation
STEP 1
In a mixing bowl or jar, add the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic (if using), salt, and pepper.
STEP 2
If using a bowl, whisk the ingredients together until they are mostly combined. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake well to combine.
STEP 3
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking (or shaking the jar). Continue until the dressing is emulsified and slightly thickened.
STEP 4
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, honey for sweetness, or a splash more balsamic for tanginess. For best flavor cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving.
