Balsamic Vinaigrette

Dark, mellow and slightly sweet, with garlic and oregano. The dressing for tomatoes, rocket and anything with mozzarella near it.

Ingredients

  • 150 millilitre olive oil
  • 60 millilitre balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Crush the garlic clove and drop it into a screw-top jar.
  2. 2Add the balsamic vinegar, dijon, honey, oregano, salt and pepper.
  3. 3Shake hard for 15 seconds so the mustard and honey dissolve into the vinegar first.
  4. 4Pour in the olive oil and shake again for 30 seconds until glossy and thickened.
  5. 5Taste — a cheap balsamic may need a second teaspoon of honey to round it out.
  6. 6Keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks. Fish out the garlic after 3 days or it turns harsh.
