Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
- Using a whisk, blend all the ingredients together until they form a smooth and well-incorporated dressing.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add more honey. If you like it tangier, a little more vinegar will do the trick.
- Transfer the prepared dressing into an airtight jar or container.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least an hour before using it to allow the flavors to meld together.
- The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure to shake it well before each use.
Tips
- For a creamier version, try adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
- If you like a bit of heat, a pinch of chili flakes can add a nice kick.
