Homemade Dressing Recipe

This homemade dressing is perfect for drizzling over your favorite salads or using as a marinade. It’s simple, delicious, and gives you control over your ingredients. You can adjust it to suit your taste, adding a little more zing or sweetness as you like!

Delicious Homemade Dressing ### Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar (balsamic, red wine, or apple cider)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to taste)
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: fresh herbs (like basil, parsley, or cilantro) for added flavor

Instructions:

Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will make the process so much easier!
In a small bowl or jar, combine the vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and honey or maple syrup. Whisk or shake well to mix.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help emulsify the dressing and create that creamy consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. You want to balance the tanginess of the vinegar with the richness of the oil and sweetness from the honey.
If you’re adding herbs, toss in a handful of your favorites. Whisk or shake again to mix everything together.
Give it a taste! Adjust any components as needed – maybe a bit more vinegar for tang, or an extra drizzle of honey for sweetness.
Transfer your dressing to an airtight container. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Just remember to give it a shake or stir before using!

That’s it, fam! Now you’ve got a fabulous dressing that’s not just tasty but made by you! Drizzle it over your greens, toss in some veggies, and you’ve got yourself a fresh meal that’s bursting with personality. Enjoy!
