Ingredients
- ✓1 large finely minced shallot
- ✓2.5 tablespoons aged sherry vinegar
- ✓1 tablespoon warm water
- ✓1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ✓1.5 teaspoons honey
- ✓1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ✓1.5 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
- ✓0.5 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
- ✓1 clove garlic, finely grated
- ✓1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ✓0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Place the minced shallots into a small mesh strainer and rinse briefly under cold running water; drain well.
💡 Tip: Rinsing the shallots removes excess bite, ensuring a mellow, sweet onion flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained shallots, sherry vinegar, and warm water. Let this mixture steep for two minutes.
💡 Tip: The warm water helps bridge the acidity of the vinegar with the oil for a smoother texture.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing into a cohesive, creamy consistency.
💡 Tip: For a faster result, you can combine all ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
