Ingredients
Hot Honey Dressing Ingredients
- ¾ cup light olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼-½ tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients including light olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, ground mustard, dried basil, thyme, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes into a jar or medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk to Emulsify: Vigorously whisk the mixture until it is fully combined and emulsified, creating a smooth and well-blended vinaigrette.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately as a dressing or marinade, or cover and refrigerate. Shake or whisk again before use as separation may occur.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
- This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week; bring to room temperature and whisk before using.
- Use light olive oil for a milder flavor; extra virgin olive oil may overpower the delicate balance.
- Great as a salad dressing, marinade for grilled vegetables or chicken, or drizzled over roasted dishes for added flavor.
