Before you start mixing, collect your tools. You’ll need a small bowl or jar with a lid, a whisk or fork, and measuring spoons. If using a jar, you can shake it all together!
Start by measuring out each ingredient. A precise measurement helps ensure your vinaigrette comes out just right. The harmony of flavors relies on every component being perfectly balanced.
In your bowl or jar, add the Dijon mustard and honey. Whisk them together until blended. This combination sets the base for your tangy and sweet dressing.
Now, sprinkle in the sea salt and pour in red wine vinegar. This will add the vinegar's acidity and the salt's richness. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Here’s where the magic happens. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the oil blend. This gradual addition helps emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a creamy texture.
Before you finish, take a quick taste. This is your moment to adjust if needed. Want a little more sweetness? Add a touch more honey. Need more acidity? A bit more vinegar does the trick. Personalize it to your liking.
Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, transfer your vinaigrette to a jar (if you haven’t used one already). Seal it and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed after sitting for a bit, allowing the flavors to meld together.
