Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ⅔ cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mince the garlic cloves finely so they distribute evenly throughout the marinade.

  2. 2

    Pour balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and dijon mustard into a bowl.

  3. 3

    Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the mustard emulsifies and the marinade thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust: add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.
