It only takes five minutes and a few simple items to make a sauce that can be used on many different kinds of food.

Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil works best for its rich flavor and health benefits.
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar: Adds a tangy kick that brightens the salad.
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey: Balances the acidity with a touch of natural sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard: Provides a creamy texture and a slight hint of spice.
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper: To taste.
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper into a mason jar or any sealable container.
- Shake Well: Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined. The mustard acts as an emulsifier, keeping the oil and vinegar from separating.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more vinegar or honey to make it sour or sweet.
Pro Tip: If you’re not a fan of shaking, you can whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Notes
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of honey, or replace it with maple syrup for a different flavor.
- Make It Creamy: Add 2–3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or avocado for a smooth, creamy texture that enhances richness.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly ground black pepper and high-quality olive oil will elevate the taste.
- Store Properly: Keep the dressing in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks. There may be separation if you don’t shake well before each use.
