Ingredients

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP Dijon mustard
3-4 TBSP honey
3 cloves garlic peeled
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a blender. Pulse for 20-30 seconds until thick and creamy. Sample a taste. Adjust for sweetness or more tartness to your preference. Pour in an air tight container and chill until needed.
Will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before using.

Notes

I used raw honey for this dressing. Great for allergy season. Shop for local honey at farmers market or organic grocery store in your area.
Use only fresh garlic. Jarred garlic, garlic powder or garlic salt will not convey the flavor you want in this dressing.
Store in an air tight jar- like a mason jar. Shake well before each use.
