Ingredients

Servings: 8
240ml (1 cup) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
80ml (1/3 cup) Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon Mustard
2 tsp (10ml) Honey
1 tbsp (approx. 5g) Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp (approx. 2g) Fresh Chives, finely chopped
1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
1/4 tsp (1g) Black Pepper, freshly ground

Steps

1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth paste.

2

Gradually add the red wine vinegar to the bowl while continuously whisking. Continue to whisk until the vinegar is fully incorporated into the mustard mixture.

3

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil in a thin, steady stream while whisking vigorously. This emulsification process will create a creamy, well-combined dressing. Continue whisking until all the oil is added and the dressing is slightly thickened.

💡

Whisking slowly and steadily is key to creating a stable emulsion.

4

Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley and chives. Mix well to distribute the herbs evenly throughout the dressing.

5

Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, honey, or vinegar to suit your preference. Once satisfied with the flavor, the dressing is ready to serve.
