Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar organic, such as Bragg brand
- 2 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons raw honey
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard I use organic
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
- 2 teaspoons softened garlic*
- 1/2 cup neutral oil* I used grapeseed oil, expeller-pressed**
- 1/2 cup garlic oil (from the softened garlic recipe)
Instructions
- Make the softened garlic (recipe below) - will give a mellow flavor and nice texture. Place 3 softened garlic cloves on a cutting board and mash with the side of a knife until well mashed and creamy.
- Place the first 8 ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a medium sized bowl. Stir well with a wire whisk. Add the mashed garlic, whisk in.
- Measure the oils in a glass measuring cup. Add the oil in a stream while whisking. Start adding oil very slowly, when half is added, stream in all the oil until emulsified.
- Store the vinaigrette in a clean glass container and refrigerate. Will stay for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Quick Softened Garlic: Add 8 medium garlic cloves to a small 6" pot. Cover with 1/2 cup of extra virgin oil oil. Over low heat bring just to a simmer. Cover and cook slowly on the lowest simmer for 10 - 12 minutes until the cloves are softened but not colored. Check as they are cooking. Remove from heat, strain the cloves - save the "garlic oil" (and use in this recipe.) Extra softened garlic can be used in many other recipes, store in the refrigerator.
** with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.”
