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