Steps
Steps
- 1Steep the shallot and garlic in the balsamic vinegar with the salt for 15 minutes. This softens their raw bite and seasons the acid.
- 2Whisk in the mustard and honey until dissolved. The mustard is the emulsifier and must go in before the oil.
- 3Add the olive oil in a very slow stream, whisking constantly, until the dressing thickens and turns opaque.
- 4Season with black pepper and taste. The classic ratio is 3 parts oil to 1 part acid, but good balsamic is sweet enough to take more.
- 5If it splits on standing, whisk it briefly or shake it hard in a sealed jar.
- 6Keeps two weeks in the fridge; bring to room temperature before using, as cold olive oil sets solid.
