Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic (peeled)
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- to taste salt & pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a small plastic container with a lid, we put the garlic, mustard, balsamic vinegar and a small pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. We stir this with a fork and let it sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor in the dressing. We then remove the garlic clove, add the oil, and shake to combine. We taste for salt and pepper on a piece of lettuce and adjust.
