Red Wine Vinaigrette
Description
This Red Wine Vinaigrette blends red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice to provide a bright, acidic base. Dijon mustard and honey help emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth, cohesive texture while adding tanginess and subtle sweetness. Garlic powder adds a gentle savory note. Olive oil is incorporated gradually while whisking, ensuring the ingredients combine without separating.
Salt and black pepper are added to taste, rounding out the flavor. This vinaigrette works well tossed with mixed greens, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade. The recipe is simple but balanced, highlighting each component's contribution to the overall flavor.
Keeping the vinaigrette refrigerated in a covered container helps maintain freshness. Shaking before use re-emulsifies the dressing if separation occurs. The Dijon mustard and honey are essential to maintain texture and flavor harmony and should not be omitted or substituted without consideration.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Notes
- Store the vinaigrette in a covered container in the refrigerator and shake well before each use to re-emulsify.
- Drizzle the olive oil slowly while whisking to properly blend and prevent separation.
- Do not omit or substitute the Dijon mustard or honey, as they help maintain the dressing's texture and flavor balance.
